A Note From Microsoft
“We are excited to be working with the Ultima team as a launch partner for the Azure Marketplace “Multi Party Private Offer” process in the UK in summer 2024.
This will bring together the strength of Ultima as a Microsoft and multi-vendor services partner with the power of Microsoft’s cloud marketplace, to deliver elastic cloud-first software solutions.
With solutions from a select group of Independant Software Vendors (ISV’s), this new mechanism combined with Ultima’s trusted advisory skills, cost optimisation processes and customer first approach will drive better value, governance, and commercial terms as UK organisations look to modernise their application portfolios”

Benefits of Using Microsoft Azure Marketplace
- Efficiency: Quickly discover, deploy, and manage a wide range of cloud solutions from a single platform.
- Modernise Procurement – using your existing Microsoft agreement procurement can be simplified with one invoice and contract
- Consumption Commitment Decrement: Enhanced savings can be realised from adding your SaaS spend to future Microsoft agreements. Already have a Microsoft agreement in flight then marketplace spend can be used against existing consumption commitments.
- Accelerate Innovation: Obtain the applications your business needs rapidly and efficiently.
