      Accessing The Full Width Of Microsoft 365

      Microsoft applications are a vital part of business working. Working with Akita, we can ensure your organisation gets what it needs – plus extra at no additional cost.

      Where once organisations would purchase a single perpetual Microsoft Office licence that covered their business application needs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc), there are now a myriad of licence subscriptions available covering business, enterprise, non-profit and education requirements.

      Under each of these areas, there’s a range of licences available, each providing access to different features and applications. So it can be valuable (and cost-effective) to work with a partner like Akita to help navigate the offerings.

      Plus with our in-house expertise we can help your organisation to unlock the benefits of applications that you have as part of your licence but may not be using: Teams, SharePoint or Intune to name a few.

      Microsoft Licensing Quote

      Get in touch for a quote on Microsoft 365 and Azure licensing and requirements:

      Common Microsoft 365 Licensing

      Most organisational requirements can be met by the following licence types:

      Microsoft 365 Business

      Ideal for everyday business requirements, Microsoft 365 Business is offered as Basic, Standard and Premium depending on the depth of features required, and whether users need copies of applications on their desktop or are happy working from the cloud.

      Microsoft 365 Enterprise

      Designed for larger organisations, these Microsoft 365 licences (E3/E5/F1) offer a more complete set of applications, including cross-organisation communications solutions such as SharePoint and Yammer, as well as advanced work management solutions such as Power Apps and Power Automate.

      Windows Server

      The most commonly-used solution for servers, licensing can support either an on-premise, cloud or hybrid requirement. We can provide Windows Server either as a perpetual licence (with a one off cost) or as a monthly SPLA offering.

      Azure Licensing

      Azure is Microsoft's scalable and multi-faceted cloud environment. We can assist organisations with the right subscriptions for features including Active Directory and security elements. We can also help manage their data consumption, virtual machine configurations and databases.

      At the same time, organisations should be aware of new offerings on the horizon. Microsoft Modern Workplace and Windows 365 Cloud PC are both offerings tailored to new working practices, so could be future fixtures in your organisations.

      Licensing Management

      Our services go beyond simply transacting Microsoft licences.

      We can assist with ongoing Microsoft licensing management, helping you to assign new resources and reassign existing resources based on changes within your organisation (joiners and leavers for example).

      We’ll also notify you when licences are due for renewal to ensure they’re still required, removing as necessary

      Our experts will also help you to maximise the use of your existing licences, ensuring you’re aware of and using all of the features that you have access to.

      Saving Money On Your Microsoft 365 Licensing

       Licence Optimisation

      We can also help organisations achieve better value from their Microsoft licensing.

      Through an audit of your existing licensing, we’ll establish what you really need against what you have. For example,  you could be using Microsoft 365 E3 licences across your organisation, but half of your team only need Microsoft 365 Business Premium. This simple change could save your organisation over £150 per year per person.

      As a partner, we also receive offers directly from Microsoft not available to the public. So if there’s a promotion available that could benefit your organisation, we’ll be sure to pass the savings on. And we can access charity and non-profit licensing for applicable organisations.

      We can also work with organisations to manage changing requirements. Whether you’re looking to implement SharePoint across your organisation, adopt advanced security requirements or utilise Window’s virtual desktop, we can assist you in getting the licensing you need.

      Microsoft Azure Licensing

      Akita is increasingly supporting organisations with their Microsoft Azure licensing requirements as well.

      Azure is perhaps Microsoft’s most complex service to license due to the wide range of optionality depending on the intended function. So whether new to Microsoft’s cloud hosting or looking for someone to support your onward journey, it can pay to work with a partner who understands Azure licensing.

      As a pioneer of business cloud solutions, Akita has the technical cloud knowledge to help organisations achieve their end goals with Azure. We can then set about licensing your Azure tenant to maximise the value you get out of it while keeping your spending as low as possible.
