With SA Planning Services, you can take advantage of professionally delivered in-depth deployment planning services from CompuCom. Services covered include Desktop (Office and/or Windows), SharePoint and Exchange Deployment Planning.

Your organization receives a set number of planning service days to apply toward these services. The number of days varies by the type and number of licenses you have with Software Assurance (SA) and can be used for deployment planning engagements ranging from one to 15 days in length. You may use your planning service days for a single, in-depth engagement or schedule several engagements to accommodate multiple locations or planning service needs.
Your SA Benefits Manager will begin the process by assigning planning service days to a project manager within your organization, using a straightforward voucher creation process through the Volume Licensing Service Center. The project manager then chooses a Microsoft Planning Services Provider and schedules the engagement.

You can use your SA Training Vouchers to prepare your IT staff for new software deployments, or convert unused Training Vouchers into extra planning service Days to suit your needs. The SA E-Learning courses will also help prepare your employees for new software implementations.
