Licence supply
We supply licences for the software we work with ourselves – and advise which licence model and how many licences you really need. We can supply Oracle and Microsoft licences as a partner of both vendors, other software through the global distributor Arrow Electronics.
- The right number and model – licences sized to actual use, virtualisation and cloud, not to the price list.
- Competitive prices – thanks to our vendor partnerships and the distributor Arrow.
- Installation and support – we deploy, configure and support the software we deliver.

FAQ
Do we need a licence review before buying licences?
No. For smaller purchases a consultation is enough. A review pays off for larger purchases, platform changes or when a vendor audit is looming – it shows whether you have too few licences or more than you need.
Can you supply software from a vendor not listed here?
Through the distributor Arrow Electronics we supply software, hardware, licences and cloud services from many other vendors. Tell us what you need.
