MULTIEMEDIA 'IICROSUFT ENTER INTO SIGNIFICANT AGREEMENT
Multiemedia has recently executed an agreement with Microsoft under their Services
Provider Licensing Program (SPLA).
The program is designed to emulate how sewice providers do business - providing
sewices on a monthly fee to their end customers. Multiemedia is a first tier
distributor of all Microsoft products under the terms of the agreement signed.
Benefits of the program include:-
* Competitive Pricing
Pricing Stability
Use, Rights, Protection
CashFlowManagement
Academic Skus
Standardised Reporting
The program will be delivered via Multiemedia's VSAT Satellite service incorporating
New Skies space segment, ViaSat end user equipment and Hub, and Kavera billing
software.
It is not yet known Row much revenue this program will achieve, however Microsoft's
extensive researching leads both parties to believe it will be significant. Microsoft's
current first tier distributors turn over in the order of $1 50 million p.a. plus.
The program will commence on July 3'' and both Microsoft and Multiemedia will seek
to enroll customers in an early pilot. The program will provide benefits to all current
users of Microsoft's products, especially large corporations with multiple offices in
remote locations.
Microsoft offers numerous licensing programs, however none are as broad as the
SPLA. A joint awareness campaign will be launched by Multiemedia and Microsoft
this month, and early success is envisaged.
