Volume Licensing – Government

Whether your public sector customers have as few as five computers or a great deal more, Microsoft's approach to volume licensing will make your life a whole lot easier and will open up new opportunities for your business.

Licensing within the public sector in particular is a huge market for partners; according to IDC it is worth over $170m. This includes 30,000 GP practices, 3,000 NHS dental practices, 400 town and parish councils, 13 regional development agencies and thousands of smaller bodies. So find out more about the licensing options in the sub 250 users market:

Open Licence for Government
Microsoft Open Licence is a Volume Licensing program for small to mid-sized organisations that have fewer than 250 desktop PCs. The program provides a simple, flexible, and cost-effective way for customers to acquire their Microsoft software under a single agreement rather than on an individual basis. This enables them to easily manage their licences through online tracking – and perhaps most importantly, keeps them legal as the risk of lapsed or missed licences is dramatically reduced.

Key customer benefits include:

Software is financially easier to keep up-to-date by payments spread over a one, two or three year agreement term
Easy to centralise the management and tracking of licensing
Reduces the need for multiple agreements
Gain the advantages of support and training, not available from FPP or OEM.
