Since the 90s, sales models for software manufacturers have evolved and differentiated more and more from version to version. Today, companies have attractive opportunities when it comes to using different licence models and versions at the same time. These opportunities give IT managers strategic leeway to provide the best cost-optimised solutions for employees – either locally, centrally or in the cloud.

As one of the leading retailers on the European market, more and more companies are calling us early on in their planning stage. We see this as proof of our expertise, which has grown over many years, and the high level of trustworthiness our range offers.

Press releases reflect development and show the breadth of our expertise in the areas of software licences and cost-saving models.
