# Expedient Bridge Program

## One Contact, One Plan, One Destination for VMware Continuity

VMware licensing and cloud services have evolved, and that’s making many teams evaluate where they stand and what steps they must take next.  The Expedient Bridge Program, available to VMware end customers, existing partners, and organizations running on-premises VMware infrastructure, offers a clear, structured path through the changes. No immediate migration. Expedient handles licensing. Every engagement includes an aligned destination.

## Partners

Your Broadcom authorization is gone, but your clients and your operating model are still intact. Expedient steps in as the compliance layer — staying behind the scenes while you stay client-facing.

## Customers

Your provider left the market but your workloads need a reliable, compliant home and a clear path forward. The Bridge assessment maps your environment and your options — with no obligation.

## Customers (On-Premises Hardware)

vSphere 7 support ended October 2025, and vSphere 8 follows in October 2027. The Expedient Bridge Program closes that gap, without touching your hardware or forcing a migration decision before you are ready.

## The Bridge Program in Three Steps

## From Where You Are to Where You Need to Be

Every engagement follows the same operating model. Expedient takes the Broadcom-required compliance role, owns the license structure, and commits contractually to where your workloads land. You stay focused on your business. We handle the complexity.Here‘s how it works:

1
## Bridge Fit Check

A 15-30-minute intake confirms program eligibility, maps the environment, and establishes the initial steps of the migration assessment (if necessary). This is where every engagement starts.

2
## Expedient Takes the Lead

Expedient provides Broadcom-required legal control through a documented lease structure and acts as the single point of contact. Workloads stay in place with new compliant licensing. Partners stay client-facing. Operations continue without disruption.

3
## Defined Path to VCF

Every engagement includes a contractual commitment to a VMware Cloud Foundation destination. The timeline aligns with your requirements. Engineering-led migration support is included at no additional charge.
