Why pay for Premier Support instead of using my Software Assurance Benefits?
Software Assurance Benefits are value added services that are awarded under your Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft based on your licensing spend. One software assurance benefit is 24 x 7 Problem Resolution support which allows you to open an incident for reactive support in your environment when things go wrong. 24 x7 incidents are unmanaged professional-level support that cover some products and issues and provide no path for escalation, root cause analysis, or priority response.
