The Software Asset Appraisal service provided by Computacenter will determine your Microsoft license position and identify opportunities for financial savings through the optimisation of existing agreements in accordance with your organisation’s strategy.

The service is recognised by Microsoft as part of its SAM Programme, and will enable your organisation to:

Prevent unbudgeted licence expenditure
Redeploy unused licences
Reduce the risk of an audit
Avoid excess expenditure on unnecessary licences

Computacenter’s services are completely confidential and you can sign up at any time in your licensing lifecycle. By signing up to the programme, you will be entitled to a FREE assessment.

Following an appraisal and successful completion of the programme, you will be issued with a certificate by Microsoft stating that it should not have to review your organisation for another 12 months.
