What you get when your licensing is with Evocate

More than just competitive pricing, a licensing relationship that's integrated with the people who build and run your Microsoft environment.

Direct Microsoft Pricing

No intermediary markup. Evocate sits at the top of the licensing chain, the same tier as other major distributors, except we also build the platform.

Continuous Licence Optimisation

Quarterly reviews to remove unused licences, right size plans, and migrate to SKUs that match how your team actually works. Most clients save upto 10-25% in year one.

Single Point of Accountability

Your consulting team, your licensing, your support, and your MSP all under one commercial relationship. One invoice. One renewal cycle. No finger pointing.

Direct Escalation to Microsoft

When something goes wrong, we are the first call, Microsoft is the second. We manage that interaction directly no reseller chain between you and Microsoft engineering.

Integrated Billing

One invoice covering Microsoft licensing, Evocate product licensing, consulting hours, and managed services if applicable. Simplified for your finance team.

No Long-Term Lock-In

Microsoft licensing transitions are reversible. If we're not the right fit, your licensing can move to another CSP at any time. We earn the relationship every renewal.

Evocate is a Direct Microsoft Tier-1 CSP

When most Australian organisations buy Microsoft licences, they buy through a chain. A reseller buys from a distributor, who buys from a Tier-1 CSP, who buys from Microsoft. Each layer takes a margin.

Evocate buys directly from Microsoft. We are at the top of the chain, the same level held by other major distributors.

The difference is that those companies are licensing-only businesses. They do not deliver Microsoft consulting or operate the platform after the licences are sold. Evocate is the only Australian organisation that is both a Tier-1 Microsoft licensing partner and a full-stack Microsoft consultancy.
