Licensing as a Service

Licensing as a service · Wellington and NZ wide

Most businesses buy software licences from several places: Microsoft through one reseller, Google on a credit card, and other tools on whoever’s card was handy. Nobody sees the full picture, renewals arrive as surprises, and licences keep running after people leave. We supply and manage them for you, on one monthly invoice.

We work with businesses across the Wellington region, including Wellington City, the Hutt Valley, Porirua, Kāpiti and Wairarapa, and anywhere in New Zealand, as licensing is managed remotely.

Licences that follow your staff

When someone starts, their licences are ready on day one. When they leave, we keep their mailbox and files and stop the licence, so you aren’t paying for empty seats. Changes go through a normal support request, with nothing extra for you to manage.

You stay in control

Your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account, your data and your domain stay yours. We manage the licences on your behalf, and if you ever move to another provider, we help transfer them.

The service

What we look after

  • Microsoft 365: Business Basic, Standard and Premium, Exchange Online, Teams Phone and Copilot, matched to each role
  • Google Workspace: Business Starter, Standard and Plus, with storage and archived user licences
  • Other business software: Such as Adobe Acrobat and Creative Cloud, password managers, and backup and security products
  • One monthly invoice: Every licence on one bill, listed per person, so you can see what each role costs
  • Renewal planning: Annual and monthly commitments chosen deliberately, with renewal dates tracked so nothing rolls over by surprise
  • Regular reviews: Unused and duplicate licences flagged before they cost you another term

How switching works

1. A licence review
We list what you have, who uses it, and when each subscription renews.

2. A quote per licence
Priced per user per month, so you can compare it line by line with what you pay now.

3. The move
Licences move to us at a time that suits each renewal date. Your email, files and settings aren’t touched.

4. Ongoing management
Starters, leavers and changes handled for you, with one invoice each month.

Common questions

Will it cost more than buying direct?
We quote per licence before you switch, so you can compare it with what you pay now. The bigger saving usually comes from paying only for the licences you need.

What about our existing annual commitments?
We plan the move around them, so you don’t pay twice or lose a discount.

Do we have to use you for IT support?
No. Licensing is available on its own, or alongside our managed IT service.

What happens if we leave?
Your accounts and data are yours. We help move your licences to your new provider, or back to buying direct.
