Making software licencing work for you

Licencing clarity

Our Licence Advisory is about helping you understand what you need, what you’re paying for, and where you can save. We bring deep knowledge of licensing programmes, models and vendors - so you don’t have to.

Whether you’re entering a new agreement, preparing for a renewal, or reviewing your estate, we act as a trusted advisor - helping you navigate contracts, optimise usage, and align your licensing to business strategy. It’s not just about saving money - it’s about making licensing decisions that support long-term growth and flexibility.

We work across all major vendors - including Microsoft, Adobe, VMware and niche software providers - and provide licencing advice that’s both technically sound and commercially aware.
