Procurement & Licensing
Procurement and licensing
The right licences, at the right price, with the guidance to get full value from them.
What it is
How we approach Procurement & Licensing
Licensing is easy to over-spend on and easy to under-use. Our partner status means we can often improve your position on cost and flexibility, and our engineers make sure you are actually using the features you are paying for.
Citrix and EUC licensing expertise, including cost optimisation, renewal planning, licence assessments, and guidance on features you already own but are not using.
Outcomes
- A better licensing position
- No paying for shelfware
- Features you own put to work
- A clear renewal strategy
How we work
The detail
Licence assessment
A quick, expert review of your current licensing, with practical recommendations you can act on. Which subscription bundle is correct for you and what does the bundle include.
Cost optimisation
Our partner status means we can often improve your position on cost and flexibility, so you pay for what you need rather than what you had.
Renewal planning
A clear renewal strategy, planned well ahead of the date rather than negotiated at it. Allowing time to negotiate with Citrix on your behalf.
Feature utilisation
Guidance on the subscription bundles you already own but are not using, so nothing you pay for sits idle. Explain the Citrix UHMC and Microsoft365 feature-rich bundles to obtain return on your investments.
The problems we solve
Procurement & Licensing FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which vendors' licensing do you handle?
Citrix and ControlUp licensing is at our core, and we also assist with Microsoft licensing for 365 & Azure utilisation. As both Citrix Platinum & Citrix CSP Partners we can identify the most suitable and economical subscription model for you.
Can you transact licences as well as advise?
Yes. As a Citrix CSP Partner we can transact, provision and manage Citrix subscriptions directly, so licensing, delivery and support come from one partner.
Citrix licensing has changed. Can you explain our renewal?
Yes. We work on licensing questions every week. We will look at what you use, how your estate is designed, and tell you the licenses needed, so you go into the renewal process informed. In 2024 Citrix reduced their portfolio and now their UHMC (Universal Hybrid Multicloud) subscription should make your renewal easier.
What is a licensing assessment?
A quick, expert review of your current licensing, with practical recommendations. No obligation, just some tips on what you need and the value built into your subscriptions.
Can you reduce what we spend?
Often, yes. Our partner status means we can often improve your position on cost and flexibility, and rightsizing the environment first can reduce what you need to renew at all.
What is shelfware, and how do we avoid it?
Shelfware is licensing you pay for but never use. A licence assessment finds it, and ongoing guidance keeps your agreement matched to what you actually run.
