Software

Software that simplifies collaboration, communication and content.

The position

Deployed against your directory, not left at default.

Licensing is the easy part. The value is in the deployment, the fit with what already exists, and having somebody to call when it stops at 16:40 on a Thursday.

Portfolio scope

What is inside this domain

  1. Business communications

    3CX phone systems and contact centre: call flows, queues, out-of-hours routing and reporting that a supervisor can read. Session border control for a secure SIP interconnect to the carrier.

  2. Productivity and content

    Microsoft 365 tenancy, licensing and identity; Adobe creative and document workflow; Exclaimer for signatures that stay on-brand without anyone editing a template; AutoCAD for design teams.

  3. Virtualisation and continuity

    Proxmox where an open platform fits better than a licence tier, and Veeam backup with restores that are actually tested, and retention matched to the policy rather than to the size of the disk.

  4. Licence position and renewals

    One view of what is owned, what is being paid for twice, and what expires this quarter. Renewal dates managed as a calendar, not as a series of surprises.

Outcomes

What you get out of it

  • One supplier relationship instead of six renewal dates.
  • Platforms configured against your directory and naming standard.
  • Backups verified by restore, not by a green tick on a dashboard.

How we deliver it

The same six stages, applied to this domain

Planning, procurement, deployment, operation, maintenance and disposal are not a separate product. They are how every domain reaches production, stays there, and eventually leaves without becoming somebody’s problem.

  1. 01

    Planning

    Licence position first: what is owned, what is duplicated, and what expires this quarter.

  2. 02

    Procurement

    Bought on the right agreement and the right term, with the renewal dates pulled into one calendar instead of eight separate anniversaries.

  3. 03

    Deployment

    Deployed against your directory and your naming, proven with a real pilot group before the rest of the estate follows.

  4. 04

    Operation

    One number for the platform and the licence. Vendor escalation is our conversation, not yours.

  5. 05

    Maintenance

    Renewal calendar managed, restores tested on a schedule, and version currency reported rather than discovered.

  6. 06

    Disposal

    When a platform is retired, the data is exported before the tenancy closes, licences are reclaimed or cancelled, and dormant accounts and integrations are removed rather than left open.
