Software licensing is a large chunk of any organisation’s annual IT spend; we have a view that companies should manage these intangible assets with the same financial stewardship that you might apply to physical ones. Having said that, IT departments should be able to focus on making the technology work for their business, rather than trying to understand the sometimes arcane rules of vendors’ licensing agreements. We can take this overhead away from you, with our Software Asset Management (SAM) services.

There are often huge reductions in operational expenditure to be made by reclaiming licensing for software that is no longer in use – and you would be surprised at the number of customers still paying for maintenance agreements on software packages no one accesses. Wouldn’t it be useful, as well, if your helpdesk knew what software is installed on everyone’s PC when they phoned with a problem? Needless to say, our SAM programme will help you ensure you are compliant – and in fact we can validate and certify your licensing position with Microsoft and other leading vendors. As ‘Microsoft SAM Programme Partner of the Year’ for 2008, we are ideally placed to help you get maximum value out of your software investment.
