Microsoft Volume Licence Analysis
Staying on top of what Microsoft licences you own and understanding your exact Microsoft licence entitlements can be difficult and costly. Multiple licence agreements, rapid growth, a non centralised procurement process and changes in business structure as a consequence of mergers or acquisitions can lead to discrepancies which lead to under or over licensing. Our Microsoft Volume Licence Analysis service is an essential component for organisations looking to complete a detailed review of their Microsoft install base or seeking to implement a software asset management process.
