FAQs for Enterprise Savings Plan 



 What is the difference between Enterprise Savings Plan and a Subscription account? 

The Enterprise Savings Plan model is similar to the Subscription model. Unlike a subscription, when you have a commitment, you commit to spend a certain amount and receive discounts across the platform even after your commitment term ends. Any overage that is incurred on the account continues to receive a discount.





 How do I sign up for an Enterprise Savings Plan? 

Contact [IBM Cloud Sales](https://www.ibm.com/cloud?contactmodule) to sign up for IBM Cloud Enterprise Savings Plan. To view your account ID, select "Register with a Code" during account registration. After you consult with a sales representative, you receive a confirmation email with your commitment quote details and information about IBM Cloud's Terms and Conditions. Your account is activated upon order processing.





 How do I view existing commitments? 

To view your existing commitments, in the IBM Cloud® console, go to Manage > Billing and usage, and select Commitments & subscriptions.

Click the tabs to view the remaining credit in your active commitments and any upcoming commitments that aren't yet valid. A commitment is expired if its term expires or all of its credit is spent.





 How do I view my commitment usage? 

To view your commitment usage, in the IBM Cloud® console, go to Manage > Billing and usage, and select Commitments & subscriptions.



* Click the tabs to view information on active or upcoming commitments.
* Use the graph to view what you've spent toward your overall committed amount.
* View monthly breakdown of the spending history for the commitment in the table.







 How do I view my commitment terms? 

After you consult with a sales representative to sign up for IBM Cloud Enterprise Savings Plan, the sales team will email you a copy of your quote and information about IBM Cloud's Terms and Conditions.





 How do I add a new commitment? 

Contact your [IBM Cloud Sales](https://www.ibm.com/cloud?contactmodule) representative to add a new commitment to your account.





 Why am I getting invoiced for a commitment I didn’t use?
Adoption guidelines for regulated and highly available workloads 

For regulated and highly available workloads, consider the following adoption guidelines when using the IBM Cloud® Activity Tracker (AT) service:



 Define resources naming standards for compliance 

When you create resources in the IBM Cloud, you can choose how to name them, what information to include in their description fields, which tags to use to group them, associate metadata, and more.

Define naming standards that do not include PII and other sensitive information for all resources that are created in the IBM Cloud.





 Define the account management strategy 

In IBM Cloud, you can have 1 or more stand-alone accounts. You can manage each account individually or within an enterprise by configuring a multitiered hierarchy of accounts.

Within an enterprise account, you create a multitiered hierarchy of accounts, with billing and payments for all accounts managed at the enterprise level. [Learn more](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-what-is-enterprise).



* The enterprise account serves as the parent account to all other accounts in the enterprise.
* Users and access management is isolated between the enterprise and its child accounts. No access is automatically inherited between the two types of accounts.
* Resources and services within an enterprise function the same as in stand-alone accounts. Each account in an enterprise can contain resources in resource groups.



An enterprise can contain up to 5 tiers of accounts and account groups. In its most basic form, an enterprise has two tiers: the enterprise account, and a single child account.

The following table highlights some of the key features per account management strategy:

 Billing and payments managed from 1 account !
This checklist is for administrators who are responsible for creating and setting up an account structure in IBM Cloud and enabling users within their company to create and manage cloud resources. IBM Cloud offers you the ability to create a stand-alone account and an enterprise.

Stand-alone account
: This type of account allows an account owner, for example a department or business unit administrator to add users to the account, assign access roles and permissions, manage billing and payments, and more.

Enterprise
: An enterprise manages the billing for the entire company, with usage costs from multiple accounts being rolled up and paid for from the enterprise account. Accounts that are created as part of an enterprise are just like stand-alone accounts, but the main difference is that these accounts don't manage their own billing or payments.

Use the following checklist to track all of the tasks to create and configure your IBM Cloud account or enterprise.



Table 2. Getting started tasks for setting up accounts and enterprises

 Task Description 

 <br><br> * What's in an account?<br><br><br> Your IBM Cloud account includes many interacting components and systems for resource, user, and access management. Understanding concepts like how certain components are connected or how access works help you effectively set up your account.

 <br><br> * Determine if you need an enterprise<br><br><br> When you create an enterprise to manage your billing, you can move existing stand-alone accounts to it, or create new accounts as needed. Consider the following when determining whether you need an enterprise or a stand-alone account:<br><br><br><br> * In an enterprise, subscription discounts and cloud credits are available to all accounts that are in the enterprise.<br> * Stand-alone accounts control their own billing.

 <br><br> * Create and configure your IBM Cloud account<br><br><br> Even if you plan on using an enterprise, you need to create an IBM Cloud account. You can create your account by going to the [account registration](https://cloud.ibm.com/registration) page and providing an email address and other additional information. The email address that is used to register becomes the account owner, but you can change this if required later on by following the steps in [Transferring ownership of your account](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-transfer&interface=ui).<br><br>When setting up an account for your company or organization, it is best to use a functional ID, some teams call them service accounts, associated with your company. Keep in mind that you will need to monitor for automated emails sent to this email address for warnings about service usage, services being deprecated, new services available, and more.<br><br>When you log in to the account for the first time, you are required to provide a credit card or subscription code to complete your account set up.
If you use tags to organize your resources such as by team or cost center, you can sort your instance report by the tags to identify the associated usage.

Setting spending limits is another helpful way to keep an eye on usage in your account. You can set notifications for total account, runtime, container, and service spending. When you reach a percentage of the spending limit that you set, you are notified immediately by email.

To view your current balance, manage your payment method, or make a one-time payment, go to the Payments page. You can download your latest invoice with all discounts and charges here or from the Invoices page.

Now that you've walked through the common billing options and how to delegate billing administrator capabilities, track usage, and pay your bill, you're ready to start deciding what is best for your account. As always, if you need more information, check out the documentation for IBM Cloud billing and usage.





 How does billing work in IBM Cloud? 

IBM Cloud has two billable account types, Pay-As-You-Go and Subscription accounts. With a billable account, you can use IBM Cloud resources and services that incur costs. The account type that you choose impacts how you're billed for your resource usage.

When you have a Pay-As-You-Go account, you're billed monthly for your resource usage. You pay only for what you use, with no long-term contracts. As your resource usage changes, so does your invoice, similar to a utility bill. This account type is a good fit for developers or companies that want to explore the entire IBM Cloud catalog but have smaller or variable workloads.

When you have a Subscription account, you buy a subscription for an amount of credit to spend on resource usage within a certain time period. In exchange for this spending commitment, you get a discount on your usage costs. For example, you might buy a subscription for $12,000 USD a year that comes with a 10% discount. No matter when you incur usage costs within that year, you get fixed billing for the subscription amount, such as $1,000 a month.

Subscriptions page for tracking subscription credit spending
: If you have a Subscription account, you can now view all of your subscriptions and analyze your credit spending on the Subscriptions page. You get a high-level view of the total subscription credit in your account and detailed charts that visualize trends such as your credit burndown and monthly spending. You can also view credit from any promotions in your account. For more information, see [Managing subscriptions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/billing-usage?topic=billing-usage-subscriptions).

Additionally, to better reflect their usage, codes that you apply to add subscription credit to your account are now called subscription codes rather than feature codes.

Managing SoftLayer SAML federation on IBM Cloud
: Former SoftLayer users who set up a SAML identity provider for logging in with federated IDs can now manage their configuration data in the IBM Cloud console in Access (IAM) on the Identity providers page. This type of federation is deprecated, so new identity providers can't be set up currently. You can continue to update your identity provider data or choose to delete this federation in favor of switching to [federating with IBMid](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-account-getting-startedsignup-federated).

 Credit pool total $39,000 -- -- 



The billing administrator in the enterprise account can view and monitor the total amount of available credit in the enterprise dashboard. If more credit is needed to cover the enterprise's usage, a new subscription can be purchased and then added to the enterprise account.

Subscriptions can be added only to the enterprise account and cannot be added to other accounts in the enterprise.

Because subscriptions can be sized for the entire enterprise rather than per account, you get the following benefits:



* Simpler sizing for a subscription because the subscriptions apply to more than one account
* Better discounts on usage costs because subscriptions are larger
* Fewer expiration dates to track and manage after existing subscriptions expire



In an enterprise, subscriptions are managed from the enterprise account the same way as for a stand-alone account. For more information about managing your platform and support subscriptions, see [Managing subscriptions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/billing-usage?topic=billing-usage-subscriptions).







 Usage reporting 

Enterprises provide top-down usage reporting so that you can track the costs of resource usage from all accounts in the enterprise. Starting at the enterprise level, you can navigate within the enterprise structure to see the estimated usage costs within each account or account group.
Planning your account structure 

A large organization needs to register for two IBM Cloud enterprise accounts and then set them up following this pattern.

Figure 1. Enterprise account structure

Each enterprise has a central account group to store administrative tools and enterprise wide shared services. It also has a set of account groups for each business unit.

The following shows each type of account and its purpose:

 Upgrading to a Subscription account 

With a Subscription account, you commit to a minimum spending amount each month and receive a subscription discount that is applied to that minimum charge. If your usage exceeds your total subscription amount, you're charged the regular nondiscounted rate only on the overage.

Subscriptions that you purchase through the console are limited to $5,000 United States dollars (USD) or the equivalent in your billing currency. If you want to purchase a larger subscription, contact [IBM Cloud Sales](https://www.ibm.com/cloud?contactmodule).

To upgrade from a Lite account to a Subscription account, complete the following steps.



1. In the IBM Cloud console, go to Manage > Account, and select Account settings. Then, click Upgrade, which takes you to the Subscriptions page.
2. Select your monthly spending commitment and subscription term, and click Get started.

If you're not sure how much your typical usage might cost, you can estimate it by using the [cost estimator](https://cloud.ibm.com/estimator/review).
3. Review your subscription details, and then enter your payment information.

After your payment information is processed, your subscription credit is added to your account. You can monitor your subscription usage on this same Subscriptions page. See [Managing subscriptions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/billing-usage?topic=billing-usage-subscriptions) for more information.



Your subscription renews automatically.
Enterprises require [subscription billing](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-accountssubscription-account) or an account with the [Enterprise Savings Plan billing model](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/billing-usage?topic=billing-usage-committed-use). Subscription billing means that you purchase a subscription for an amount of credit to spend during the subscription term, and usage is deducted from the subscription credit at a discounted rate. Subscription credit, as well as credit from any promotions, is added to the enterprise credit pool, which is shared across all accounts in the enterprise. As accounts use resources, credit is spent from the credit pool. The Pay as you go with Committed Use billing model is similar to the billing model for Subscription accounts. You commit to spend a certain amount on IBM Cloud and receive discounts across the platform. You are billed monthly based on your usage and you continue to receive a discount even after you reach your committed amount.

![A diagram that shows that credit from accounts is added to the enterprise credit pool, which is managed by the billing administrator in the enterprise account.](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs-content/v1/content/d4595e5202a9a27767cf034e81b038cdf772e0d5/secure-enterprise/images/enterprise-billing.svg)

Figure 2. Enterprise billing management

Because billing is consolidated, enterprises make managing invoicing and payments across multiple accounts easier with these key benefits:



* A credit pool of subscriptions that span multiple accounts, so you can size your subscriptions for all of your usage rather than usage per account
* A single invoice for all usage within the enterprise, so understanding costs is easier
* A single place to manage payment methods, so you can update once for all accounts
