Benefits of Software Volume Licensing
Software licensing through Softchoice saves you money, time and reduces risk.
Save Money
The more you buy, the bigger the discount - it's that simple. What isn't so easy is understanding the different ways software licensing discounts are applied. That's where Softchoice comes in. Widely recognized as the leading expert on more than 50 of the most popular licensing programs available our job is to make sure you get the greatest return on your software investments.
Standardizing on specific software and volume licensing is also a powerful way to save money. Many software licensing programs include software maintenance or support programs like Software Assurance and Upgrade Protection to help you do just that. These offerings include valuable perks like free training, support services and home use rights while giving you access to any new upgrades that come out during the term of your agreement.
The financial savings are clear, which is why so many Softchoice customers are currently enrolled in volume licensing programs.
Save Time
Compared to buying retail editions, licensing makes buying the software you need more simple and less time-consuming. Licensing means one blanket agreement instead of individual purchases, which is a huge time saver. And you can also add new users in no time at all. Just purchase extra licenses and make the installations, or "true-up" at the end of the year - no more waiting for shipments.
And with the ability to centrally manage your licensing agreements through softchoice.com, you can say good bye to the time it traditionally takes to keep track of the software your company is using.
Reduce Risk
Proper usage of volume licensing and comparing purchasing against actual deployment means you will stay legally compliant with the software manufacturer's agreements. At the same time you'll also keep an eye on what you actually need to buy, reducing the risk of over-purchasing.
It all sounds easy, but what do you do if you haven't been keeping up? Softchoice's purchase history reporting is SIIA approved. That means our reports are recognized as legal proof of software licenses in the event of an audit, so you can use them in place of missing license receipts. As for assessing what's already been deployed, Softchoice's assessment services are powerful options to getting detailed overviews of your entire IT environment.
