Microsoft Open Value Subscription for Education Solutions (OVS-ES)

Cynosure Solutions is a Microsoft Education Partner and it can offer huge savings on Microsoft products to recognized educational institutes through the Microsoft OVS-ES Agreement (or Open Value Subscription – Educational Solution). The OVS-ES Agreement is an easy, cost-effective alternative designed for any educational establishments with an FTE employee count of less than 1000. This means that as an educational institution you can gain access to the latest Microsoft Software at a fraction of the cost.

The Microsoft OVS-ES offering is the premier academic subscription offering that scales from the smallest to largest academic customers. Building on the School Agreements the OVS-ES allows for:

Easy Compliance – licensing based on the number of staff rather than the previous method of counting devices.

Customised Solutions – with additional products either institution-wide (e.g. Office) or for a department or individual device (e.g. Multipoint Server)

Simplified Administration and Asset Management – reduced auditing over other programs.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership – flexibility to maximise the use while minimising the cost.

Cloud on Your Terms – access to Office 365 plans at either no cost or reduced cost.

Microsoft Teams is one of the fastest growing product in the education vertical. Microsoft teams is a digital hub that brings conversations, meetings, files, and apps together in one place. Because Teams is built on Office 365, schools benefit from integration with their familiar Office apps and services. It delivers enterprise-grade security and compliance that is extensible and customizable to fit the needs of every school.

With Microsoft Teams, your school or institution can create collaborative classrooms, connect in professional learning communities, communicate with school staff, coordinate research across institutions or more easily facilitate student life efforts like clubs or extracurricular activities – all from a single experience in Office 365 for Education.

Microsoft Teams for Education comes with all the powerful communication and collaboration tools that are available to other Teams users.

Flexible Access – with the same benefits enjoyed by enterprise users to use software on multiple devices, Roaming Use Rights, Home Use Program and VDA to support BYOD.

Your school can run the licensed software during your one-year or three-year licensed period. You’re licensed for all software upgrades and downgrades during the licensed period. If you have a one-year subscription, your school can extend the temporary licenses each year with an extension order.
