For our existing managed service clients:
- 5 Clients entered into the Microsoft SAM Program. This is a voluntary process to obtain
aMicrosoft’s certificate of compliance - 3 Clients contacted by Microsoft for a compliance (audit) check that we assisted through to completion
- 2 Clients negotiated and signed new Microsoft Enterprise Agreements
- 1 Client negotiated and signed with Snow Software to use their platform to manage their Software Assets
The SAM Club’s services and offerings continue to expand:
- Became a Microsoft Software Asset Management (SAM) Partner – this enables our clients to obtain a compliance certification
- Became a Snow Software Partner – we are not resellers but have passed the Snow certification to use the software
- DH2i – We look for alternative options. We found DH2i who offer an interesting solution which helps reduce and manage the number of SQL Servers within a firm’s infrastructure. We have partnered with DH2i and have been working with them to promote their offering within the UK and find UK Resellers for their solution
- Partnering with Discount Licensing to recover costs on redundant Microsoft software
