What is Software Assurance?
Microsoft Software Assurance is a comprehensive maintenance program
that can help you gain control of your technology strategy, improve
IT staff skills, decrease support spending, and effectively plan for
new software deployments. It isn’t just about buying software; it’s
about getting the most from your investment.

What is the Software Assurance (SA) Training Voucher Program?
Qualifying organizations that purchase Software Assurance receive
training credits from Microsoft. Each training credit is worth the
equivalent of one day of training at New Horizons. Microsoft is
subsidizing the training credits. Customers can redeem these credits
for SA Training Vouchers for select courses from New Horizons. A
select number of qualifying courses will be offered as part of the
SA Training Voucher Program.
