On April 3, the software giant will announce Open License 5, a newly developed program designed to make it easier for solution providers and partners to sell into the small and midsize business markets.
As part of that initiative, Microsoft (stock: MSFT) will unveil Open Business, a licensing program that allows small business customers to license products in smaller quantities and mix and match products on single orders to achieve discounts.
