Demanding requirements demand an innovative solution

Multi-national organisations are increasingly demanding standardised pricing and service levels for all their global operations.  By working in partnership, Bytes & the Global Licensing Alliance (GLA) are able to deliver against this requirement – giving our customers a world class service.

The Global Licensing Alliance

The GLA is a collaboration of Best-in-Region licensing partners established by Bytes to enable multi-national organisations to:

• Benefit from consistent pricing across the globe
• Allow each Regional office to procure additional software locally (in their local language & local currency)
• Receive consistent service levels
• Receive a world class service by making it easier for them to engage with Best-in-Region partners
• Understand the benefits of centralised and decentralised procurement options

7 reasons to engage Bytes & the GLA

The 7 reasons for engaging Bytes & the GLA are that:      

• Bytes are considered by many organisations to be the world leader in the supply & management of software.  We have pioneered the Microsoft Software Assurance value proposition and have been instrumental in writing the NEW “ISO 19770 for Software Asset Management” standard
• Bytes has over ten years experience of working with partners so are very used to structuring Service Level Agreements (SLA) that offer our mutual customers the best possible solution.  We leveraged this experience when selecting the GLA members and structuring the GLA master SLA
• Under the management of Bytes & the protection of the GLA SLA, you’ll have the opportunity to engage Best-in-Region partners - ensuring the service you receive is always of the highest standard and provided by organisations who are recognised leaders in their Region
• Each GLA member is a successful stand alone licensing partner who has the infrastructure in place that’s necessary to provide you with on-demand product & pricing information
• Bytes and the GLA members are able to respond to your requirements in English (across all Regions) and in the local language used within the Region
• Bytes will ensure you receive the most competitively structured global licensing solution that takes into consideration 1) your current licensing position, 2) your immediate & long term plans, 3) your geographical spread, 4) relevant currency & tax issues, 5) your budget and 6) your preferred payment & financing option   
• The prices of any software procured by your organisation, regardless of the Region the software is procured in, will be in line with the competitive global licensing solution you choose to put in place.  This will enable all your offices covered by the solution to benefit from the same favourable pricing structure
