MICU and ScholarBuys have been in continued conversations with VMware to establish a strategic partnership for our member institutions; with the end goal of developing a group purchasing program (Enterprise License Agreement, or ELA). The proposed ELA will enable MICU institutions to leverage their collective purchasing power to achieve Enterprise-level discounts for VMware’s solutions. We understand that the current priorities of many institutions have shifted more to focus on Zero Trust Security, Hybrid Cloud strategies, and Intelligent Operations. The ELA will incorporate the solutions and services needed to deliver those outcomes, including VMware’s new offerings and new consumption models needed to provide a forward-looking Business Alignment, while also accommodating the prescriptive needs of each given college or university.
As a next step, we have coordinated a presentation to review the technologies included in the Enterprise License Agreement, such as VMware’s vCloud Suite and Carbon Black Workload Protection. The ScholarBuys team will also outline next steps for evaluating this agreement for your institution and will be available to address initial questions.
