Commercial Experience

(MCA)

Today, we make offers available through our various licensing programs and platforms, but this purchasing experience for our customers and for partners is fractured. Each licensing platform has its own unique contracting experience and terms and conditions, as well as disparate customer, partner, and field management console experiences. We are evolving the purchasing experience to improve our overall picture of the customer position and our ability to advise the customer about logical next purchases.

Partners can help customers in every purchasing motion get the most value from their technology investments. In the breadth motion, partners will manage all aspects of their customers’ purchase, deployment, and use of technology across all stages of the customer lifecycle. In the enterprise motion and self-service motion, partners will provide customers with the services and solutions they need to succeed.
