Mike Austin explains the primary benefit of using a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) versus a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA). In this segment he introduces that the EA contains a clause obligating qualified users to buy an "enterprise product," which Microsoft defines as Office 365 or Microsoft 365 enterprise suites (E1, E3, E5 and the F-series F1, F3). He indicates he will first discuss O365/M365 products and then Azure.

I'm going to talk first about what the number one benefit over the EA is with the CSP, and I'm going to start talking about the O365, you know, kind of M365 products, and then I'm going to talk about Azure after. Okay? So the one thing that the EA has in it is a clause that says basically for all qualified users that they have to buy an enterprise product. And so in the Microsoft world, an enterprise product is any of either Office 365 or M365, E1, E3, E5, and then kind of their F1, F3 suites.
