In plain English

Procurement and licensing, in plain English

This service puts hardware, software and cloud purchasing in one place, with compliance built in. Devices, servers and networking equipment built to your specification; Microsoft 365, Azure, security and backup licences with renewals and optimisation handled; and vendor management so renewals, pricing and supplier support stop eating your time.

Pay only for what you use

Licence audits find what you're actually using, so you stop paying for shelf-ware and stay compliant with vendor and regulatory requirements. Because we also manage IT and security, every purchase fits the bigger picture — closing the security gaps that come from unlicensed or outdated software.

Ready to use on arrival

Standardised catalogues, pre-staging, asset tagging and direct-to-desk delivery mean equipment arrives ready to work, with warranty and RMA handling and upgrade planning behind it. Everything we buy for you is tracked in Cloud Shield 365 with ongoing reporting, so you always know what you have.

Who it suits

Growing companies juggling several vendors, IT leaders who want to streamline licensing and spend, organisations preparing for compliance audits, and teams that want procurement aligned with long-term technology strategy.

Questions

Procurement & licensing questions

Why use a procurement partner instead of buying direct?

One partner replaces several vendors, every purchase fits your IT and security strategy, licence audits stop overspending on unused licences, and pre-staged, asset-tagged delivery saves your team's time.

Can you reduce our Microsoft licensing costs?

A licence audit shows what you actually use versus what you pay for, and we handle renewals and optimisation from there — so you pay only for what you need while staying compliant.

Do devices arrive ready to use?

Yes. Standardised catalogues, pre-staging, asset tagging and direct-to-desk delivery mean a device lands on the desk ready to work, not in a box waiting for IT.

Do you handle warranties and returns?

Yes — warranty and RMA handling is included, along with lifecycle and upgrade planning so you have full visibility of what needs replacing and when.

How do we keep track of what we own?

Everything we buy for you is configured and tracked in Cloud Shield 365, with ongoing reporting — useful day to day and essential when a compliance audit or software review comes around.
