Microsoft Support Subscriptions for Business

Microsoft Support Subscriptions for BusinessMicrosoft Premier Support was the ideal Microsoft support subscription.  You prepaid for the year and bought the number of support hours your business needed.

You bought Designated Support Engineer (DSE) for core Microsoft technologies like SharePoint, Windows, Azure or Office 365.  In addition, you could add additional Technical Account Manager (TAM) hours if you had a major project or migration and needed guidance to assure a successful outcome.

Microsoft Premier Support end of life is June 30, 2022.  For businesses seeking a Microsoft support subscription they must now move to the new Unified support model, which is a more enterprise-centric offering or seek an alternative to Microsoft Premier.  US Cloud Premier Support replaces MSFT Premier but with a better support experience. Try the risk-free Proof of Concept (POC) and judge for yourself.  All USA support.  Response time and escalation SLAs. DSEs, TAMs, and Crit-sit managers. Faster time to resolution (TTR) across all severities.

Enterprise Microsoft Support Subscriptions

Enterprise Microsoft Support Subscription PlansMicrosoft Unified Support is the annual prepaid subscription made for enterprises.

Microsoft Unified covers all Microsoft products and is calculated as a percentage of your Microsoft on-premise and cloud spend. Technical Account Managers (TAM) have been replaced with Customer Success Account Managers (CSAM) and Designated Support Engineer (DSE) minimums have been increased to 400 hours.

Some enterprises have now been in Unified for 3 or more years and are seeing a couple concerning trends as they review the service at renewal.  First, as they consume more Cloud services at Microsoft, their Unified support is rising significantly.  IT roadmap and Unified forecast overlays are producing 2-5x increases over the first five years of Unified.  For some, this is an untenable change from Premier where they could buy the support hours they actually consumed.

The second concerning trend enterprises are discovering with their Unified support subscription is the degradation of support quality.  As more enterprises are onboarded into the new “as needed” Unified model, the additional load on Microsoft’s former Premier service delivery teams and offshore partners is not keeping up.  Time to resolution (TTR) across all severities is suffering and particularly frustrating on low severity cases where tickets may languish for months.

Many enterprises have sought an alternative to Microsoft Unified and discovered US Cloud. With a growing stable of Fortune 500 and Global 2000 clients who came early for the 30-50% cost savings vs Unified, many are now pleasantly surprised to see a rapidly improving support experience.  2022 NPS scores of 80+, ISO certification, and enterprise platform integrations are fueling renewals at US Cloud for the most economical expert Microsoft support available.
