We help schools with managing software licenses, including support for Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES), installing updates and patches and provide insight and guidance on the latest available software.
Microsoft Licensing
We work with schools to ensure that the right licenses are purchased. We recommend Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES) as it is an easy, cost-effective licensing arrangement. EES provides academic institutions with assured coverage for desktop platform products with one annual employee count. There is also flexibility to add or upgrade products in any quantity and all under a single, annual subscription agreement. EES covers Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Device CALS and the use of Microsoft software by teachers who need to work from home.
Alternatively, we can arrange licensing for individual devices that run Microsoft software including Microsoft Office, Windows and Device CAL.
Office 365
Office 365 is the brand name Microsoft uses for their cloud platform which provides productivity software and related services to subscribers. For schools, these services are provided for free, allowing the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X and providing 1 TB per user of storage space.
All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a file or synchronised automatically from a school server for Single Sign On (SSO) Access.
