We take the pain out of Microsoft licensing by advising on the best agreement, at the lowest cost. This approach has made us the most highly awarded Microsoft licensing specialist in the UK.

Bytes Software Services is owned by the £1.5b Altron Group and is a leading UK Microsoft LAR (Large Account Reseller) providing software licensing solutions for companies of all sizes for 30 years. Over that time, we have acquired a wealth of experience in software portfolio management, incorporating:

- License management
- Purchase optimisation
- Vendor consolidation
- Software portfolio management

Bytes’ services range from licensing consultancy services to a complete outsourcing service for customers' software estates and asset management.

Until a software asset is deployed and used it remains a cost to the organisation. Only when it’s deployed and used effectively is the value optimised and the return on investment realised.

The asset value optimisation model will help you to:

- Validate whether you need to procure additional software
- Procure the software for the least cost
- Optimise the value of the software

Although we operate a flexible engagement model, we strive to provide you with an all-encompassing Software Portfolio Management service, ensuring you only procure the software you need to, at the least available cost.
