What we stand for
Q-Advise has consciously chosen not to become a partner of a software manufacturer, reseller or auditor. This gives us the freedom to give you 100% independent advice. Our independent position makes the impossible possible during a licensing project. We do not receive any compensation or commissions for the services provided to customers. This makes us a completely independent advisory party and we act in the interest of the customer.
In your interest!
Simplify Microsoft Licensing: Navigate with Confidence and Clarity
Microsoft licenses and cloud services are becoming increasingly complex for customers. There are now more than 100,000 SKUs and several dozen programs to purchase licenses. In addition, the number of rules to remain compliant is increasing and changing regularly. Q-Advise offers clarity so that you can make well-considered choices when it comes to concluding license contracts and cloud services.
Microsoft account managers and their partners, such as LSPs, often show conflicting interpretations because they are not trained to help you understand licenses, but they are trained to sell contracts and cloud services. This makes the licensing challenge even bigger for you.
More than 50 years of experience
The Q-Advise team has over 50 years of experience in the world of software and cloud. During this period, we have built up our unique independent expertise. Our licensing experts have years of experience with software licensing. They have learned the tricks of the trade from the software manufacturers themselves, from customers, or from one of the Licensing Solution Providers (LSP).
Whether it’s a Microsoft contract renewal, audit, software usage evaluation, or improving your commercial position with Microsoft, we devise solutions that help our customers move forward and save costs.
Based on a comprehensive analysis, including detailed interviews with your key stakeholders, our consultants and analysts will create licensing models spanning 6-9 years to show the long-term implications of short-term decisions. Our Microsoft dealmakers and licensing experts will then provide negotiation support to assess and validate the proposals from Microsoft account teams.
Can’t figure it out? We’ll help you!
Are you looking for Microsoft experts because you don’t have time to learn licenses? Do you feel backed into a corner? Do you have trouble seeing the forest for the trees? Don’t worry: Q-Advise knows the forest like the back of its hand. We work closely with you to understand your current environment and future expectations regarding your Microsoft landscape.
Our goal?
Inform you about customized Microsoft licensing scenarios so you can make informed decisions based on our independent advice. With the help of our experienced Microsoft licensing specialists and dealmakers, you get the best return on your investment.
