Hope you are well. I have done some searching and pieced together what you need to have Workplace Analytics - I may be entirely wrong about this but my understanding is -
Just to ask the following questions
1.) Is Workplace Analytics coming to CSP in the future?
2.) Will it be available within any 365 plans in the future?
We are seeing a lot of interest in this from our partners so would be good to understand if it will be here at some point, and if so if that is sooner rather than later!
Thanks a lot for your time
Best, Chris

SolutionHi @Christopher Hoard- Great questions. My understanding is that CSP is a channel that our partner team is investigating and hopes to enable (timing TBD). There is no seat size limit, but customers do need an Enterprise Agreement (which effectively implements a minimum seat size) to purchase licenses. For now, the plan is to continue offering WpA as an add-on for enterprise SKUs (with discount for E5 customers). Of course, that may change as the product and GTM model evolves. Let me know if I can help answer anything else.
Best,
Nate

Hi @dagrossi and/or @Christopher Hoard
You say "customers can purchase through Web Direct, if desired"
is this possible for all customers (or only large enterprises) and where and how is this possible? Do you have a link where you can just order it?
Thanks.

Hi @LarsWrede,
Thanks for your note! The Web Direct option is not available through an external link, rather through your account team. Do you have an account manager or specialist with whom you are already working?
Best,

According to Microsoft's own documentation an EA license is required for Workplace Analytics. If it is your experience that there is a work around, I'd be interested to hear it. Our account rep says there isn't.
Per MS site - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/workplace-analytics/setup/environment-requirements
Licensing checklist
With the proper licensing, your company can acquire Workplace Analytics as an add-in to its licensing agreement. To be able to purchase Workplace Analytics licenses, your company needs the following:
An Enterprise Agreement (EA) with Microsoft
An Office 365 or Microsoft 365 product that contains either Exchange Online Plan 1 or Exchange Online Plan

Hi there - we have had several customers purchase via Web Direct. Of those Web Direct purchases, some were on an EA, some were not. So, it is technically possible to purchase via Web Direct and not be on an EA.
Thanks,
Danielle

Hi @dagrossi
We do not work with an account team. We just want to find out how to buy Workplace Analytics for small businesses as we do not work with Enterprise customers. So what is the criteria to buy through Web-direct (if you are not eligble for either EA or to have an account manager within Microsoft). Does the business-size matter?
Thanks.
