Adite launches procurement partnership for Microsoft licences and Azure

Adite is introducing a purchasing partnership that gives businesses access to better terms and lower prices on Microsoft licences and Azure services, with no volume or lock-in requirements. This initiative challenges traditional licensing models and provides organisations with more flexible and cost-effective cloud service management.

What is the purchasing collaboration?

The buying partnership allows multiple organisations to join forces to negotiate better prices and terms for Microsoft licences and Azure services. Without the need for large volumes or long-term contracts, Adite gives businesses the opportunity to reduce costs while retaining full control over their licences and cloud services. The transition to Adite is easy, and existing IT operations remain unchanged.

Benefits for businesses

• Cost savings: Competitive pricing on Microsoft licences and Azure services with no volume requirements.
• No lock-in period: Full flexibility to change or terminate licences as needed.
• Single transition: Moving licences and cloud services is done without technical changes or downtime.
• Optimisation of licenses and cloud usage: Adite offers counselling and workshops for better management of IT costs.
• Ongoing negotiations: Adite continues to secure better conditions through ongoing negotiations with Microsoft and other suppliers.
• Access to new suppliers: When new SaaS vendors are added to the sourcing partnership, customers automatically get access to enhanced agreements and expanded services.

A new approach to IT costs

"Many organisations pay too much for Microsoft licences and cloud services because they don't have access to good purchasing agreements. With our purchasing collaboration, we ensure that everyone can benefit from economies of scale, without being tied to complicated agreements," says Jon Ivar Bjørtomt, CEO of Adite. "Our goal is to give companies complete freedom over their licences and cloud services, while saving them money."

Adite Intel - Insights for better decisions

Adite also offers the cloud-based solution Adite Intel, an advanced analytics platform that provides insights into licence usage, cost optimisation and security risks. Using real-time data and AI-driven analytics, Adite Intel helps businesses make informed decisions about licence management and IT investments. This gives organisations better control and the ability to reduce unnecessary spending.

How to join?

Companies can easily join the Purchasing Collaboration by contacting Adite. The process takes between 3 and 14 days and includes an analysis of existing licences, signing an agreement and setting up new licence and cloud administration.
