Second-hand software

Are you aware of the significant savings and benefits of second-hand Microsoft software licenses? For many organizations, this market remains untapped, as it is often seen as complex and opaque. Still, the benefits are comparable to new Microsoft licenses, including access to product updates and developer support. The main difference? The cost! The savings are significant because you’re only paying for the usage rights, not the full price of new software.

Q-Advise is at the top of this market with its unique expertise.
