enterprise Licensing Agreements (eLAs)<br />
VMware’s Enterprise Licensing Agreements (ELAs) provide customer-focused incremental discounts that made available<br />
through strategic VMware partners. VMware is a partner-focused company and wherever possible will transact business<br />
through its network of partners and distributors rather than directly with end user customers.<br />
Enterprise and Premier partners can be rewarded with preferred pricing on ELA’s through the VMware’s ELA Preferred<br />
Pricing Program. It is important for you to register qualified ELA opportunities in the Opportunity Registration system on<br />
Partner Central so that you are eligible for ELA preferred pricing to protect the deal and ensure VMware’s support during the<br />
sales cycle.<br />
Enterprise License Agreements and ELA Preferred Pricing help you grow your business by:<br />
• Offering competitive discounts to your customers increases your margins and profitability<br />
• Expanding your opportunities with new and existing customers<br />
• Providing pricing protection and VMware support through the sales cycle.<br />
• Rewarding you for your expertise of VMware products and solution as well as value selling<br />
