  • Enhancement Plan benefits
  • Dynamics 365 Business Central (cloud) licenses for migration to the cloud (when/if the client wants to migrate)

The CSP – Enhancement Plan Renewal offer provides a price point 60% lower than the standard commercial list price.  For example, the CSP – EP Renewal offer list price for Dynamics 365 Business Central (online) – Premium user is $40 compared to $100 list for the CSP standard Commercial pricelist. After the 3 years, the price will be the standard list price of the software.

Customer must purchase Dynamics 365 Business Central cloud licenses with an annualized total greater than or equal to their EP renewal amount.  Example:  If the annualized EP amount is $1200, the monthly CSP will need to be equal or greater than $100.   Your organization will only pay the price of your enhancement (broken down in monthly payments via ACH).

The offer is not based on “like equals like” in terms of users.  Customer must at minimum, have an annualized value on CSP equivalent to their annual EP cost.  You are free to choose any number and mix of Dynamics 365 Business Central Cloud users (-Premium, -Essentials, -Team Members and -Device) that are equal or greater than their EP value.
