Now that the Public Sector Year End is over, local authorities are under even more pressure to ensure they are making savings. Many authorities are selling buildings, looking to cut contracts and sadly even looking at redundancies. One thing that is not always immediately apparent is that a reseller such as ourselves can help councils save money in many different ways. As a leading, long-established specialist within the Local Government arena, Phoenix has all the tools to help authorities drive down their costs.

As Microsoft's leading Software Asset Management partner in the UK, Phoenix has worked with authorities to ensure they are making the best use of their software assets and only purchasing the software licences they need. Moving on to areas such as Virtualisation - Phoenix is working with a variety of authorities on virtual desktop infractructure (VDI) solutions projects which will provide a solid return on investment, and the list goes on.  Whether it's Power Management to save on electricity bills, or discussions around moving to cloud computing, Phoenix is ideally positioned to assist. As we move into Summer, why not invite us in to talk to you about how we can potentially save you money?

The recent changes to the NHS software licensing agreements with Microsoft left the Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust responsible for ensuring their Microsoft software was correctly licensed. Recognising the legal responsibility of ensuring software licensing compliance, (along with the commercial implications of non-compliance), The Trust recruited Phoenix Software (Microsoft's longest-established Gold Partner and Software Asset Management Partner) to assist in reviewing its software licensing agreements, evaluating its procurement techniques and implementing an on-going Software Asset Management (SAM) strategy. After the successful implementation of a Proof of Concept Workshop the Trust decided to utilise Licence Dashboard.

Licence Dashboard Enterprise Edition fulfilled The Trust’s requirements enabling them to effectively and automatically control the entire lifecycle of their software assets from purchase, to upgrade and beyond.
