Special Discounts for UK Charities*
Phoenix Software is the largest supplier of software and services to voluntary organisations throughout the UK. We offer NCVO and SCVO members significant discounts on a variety of software licensing agreements and related services
With our specialist knowledge and experience in the voluntary sector marketplace, we are perfectly positioned to help you make the right IT decisions for your organisation, throughout the software purchasing lifecycle.
Software Licensing
Software licensing is an administrative minefield. That's why at Phoenix we have a long established team of licensing specialists with in-depth knowledge of all the licensing agreements available to the voluntary sector.
We are able to cut through the licensing jargon and explain terms such as per seat/per server, Software Assurance, authenticated user, as well as the usage rights for all types of server, system and applications licences.
Our dedicated Licensing Specialists and the team around them are constantly updating their skills and knowledge to ensure you buy the most suitable type of licence for your organisation - helping you make sense of software.
Software Asset Management
Effective software asset management is an essential business process - without it organisations not only leave themselves open to prosecution but also risk pouring vital resources down the drain.
We are committed to helping our customers manage their software effectively. To this end, we have designed a five-step process, offering a confidential, fixed price per seat solution.
Once you have achieved compliance, you want to ensure it remains that way. To help you meet the ongoing daily challenges of software administration, we have developed two unique support programmes:
The Phoenix SAM Managed Service - helps you introduce an effective SAM process, using our business management tool, Licence Dashboard™. Via remote access, our Licensing Specialists can work in partnership with your organisation, helping you administer the software/licence records held on Licence Dashboard on a daily basis
The Phoenix SAM Support Service - uses the same business management tools as the SAM Managed Service. Licence Dashboard is installed on your site and configured to continually monitor and maintain your SAM programme. Unlike the Managed Service, however, we would not be responsible for the daily administration of the software/licence information - this would be left to your procurement team
Great Savings for Your Charity
NCVO and SCVO have an agreement with Microsoft whereby members can purchase products under a special pricing scheme known as a Microsoft Select Agreement. Members can purchase any Microsoft software product at a significant discount via a specially negotiated deal with Phoenix Software.
NCVO and SCVO members are offered further discounts on the full range of Novell products and Symantec software. Additionally, via Phoenix, all UK charities are eligible for special discounts on software from Novell, Symantec, Corel, Sophos, IBM Lotus and McAfee Anti-Virus (N.A.I.) software.
Phoenix Software is a long established supplier to the voluntary sector.
