Software and licensing

Take a freight forwarder in Wels with forty-five mailboxes. Every single user holds the top Microsoft 365 business tier, even the six warehouse workers who merely glance at messages on a mobile. On top of that come three accounts of former employees, an Adobe plan charged to marketing's card and a Zoom contract whose origin is a mystery. Together we decide which tools each role genuinely requires; you then purchase straight from the manufacturer, and we handle clean configuration. Apply never resells licences and never earns commission on them.

set-up and fine-tuning of every tool

Two toolkits, two audiences

Software developers are served by the first; administrators responsible for PCs and servers by the second. Whichever you choose, a quick look at Microsoft 365 assignments comes included, since surplus or missing seats turn up nearly every time.

Tools for developers

Source hosting on GitHub or GitLab, JetBrains editors, Copilot, build and deployment automation, and a secure store for credentials. Ownership sits with the business, contractor logins lapse automatically, and when a customer demands it, we choose an option that stores repositories in the EU.

Tools for IT teams

Zabbix or an RMM suite for monitoring, GLPI or Intune keeping hardware and software lists current, updates rolled out in stages, and remote assistance whose sessions are recorded. Ideal for one- or two-person IT departments and a solid base for the asset list NIS2 work requires.

Where software budgets quietly drain away

Reviewing licences saves money faster than almost anything else, without replacing a single application. These patterns appear in small and mid-sized companies across all industries.

Departures IT never learns of

A leaver checklist is introduced. Payroll notifies the health insurer, but nobody removes the seat, so charges continue for months and the mailbox remains accessible.

Identical tiers regardless of role

Tiers are aligned with job profiles. A driver checking mail on a handset has different needs from a bookkeeper who spends eight hours in spreadsheets and document libraries.

Subscriptions spread over many cards

Everything moves into a single list. Canva billed to marketing, Zoom to the owner, security software to the technician: the yearly sum is unknown to all of them.

Renewals nobody reviewed

We maintain the dates and send reminders early. Letting a yearly term roll over unchecked locks in last year's headcount until the next anniversary.

Programs installed without rights

Either properly licensed or replaced. A pirated CAD package on a single notebook turns expensive the day its maker requests a compliance check.

Timing a Microsoft 365 reduction is as important as negotiating cost. On yearly terms, seat numbers can typically be lowered only in a brief window after ordering or at the anniversary. Suppose a company of fifty notices in February that eight seats added in November are unnecessary: in all likelihood it keeps paying until next November. For that reason each anniversary goes into our calendar and you hear from us well beforehand. Precise conditions are verified with the manufacturer for each case.

A licence clean-up your staff will not notice

Changes are made remotely in the Microsoft 365 admin centre and the relevant vendor portals, using rights you assign and revoke when the work is finished.

01

Cost stocktake

Every paid item: seat counts, real usage in recent months as vendor statistics show it, anniversary dates, and the card or bank account behind each debit.

02

Role-based recommendation

Tiers matched to the way different groups operate, along with a frank list of features lost by stepping down, for example device management, endpoint protection or email archiving.

03

Your purchase, our switch-over

The contract is between your company and the manufacturer. We hand you an exact shopping list and carry out the change at the anniversary, aiming to avoid overlapping charges and interruptions for staff.

04

Continuous upkeep

New starters and leavers are processed promptly, and at an agreed frequency a compact summary arrives: seat numbers, prices, recent changes and upcoming anniversaries.

Frequently asked questions

No. Apply is not a reseller or distributor and therefore offers no channel pricing. Purchases are made by you, in your company's name, paid your way and on your contract terms. We advise on product, quantity and edition, and configure the result properly. Only our time is charged, either €110 per hour plus VAT or a fixed sum, so no commission can colour our advice.

That depends on the product and how steady staff numbers are. Yearly terms usually cost less per seat but limit reductions; monthly terms cost more and stay flexible. Seasonal businesses, such as an Arlberg hotel in the ski season or a web shop in the run-up to Christmas, frequently mix both. We check prevailing terms and express each option as a yearly total.

Chaos is where almost every engagement begins. We set installed and actively used software against invoiced items and recommend specific actions: add missing seats, move users to cheaper tiers, cancel, or adopt a free option where it suffices, such as LibreOffice on workstations used purely for reading documents.

Keep calm and avoid signing anything hastily. Using your inventory and receipts we prepare a comparison of installed and licensed products, so your position is known before any data goes to the auditor. Gaps are listed together with the cost of licensing them or switching to something else. Contract and legal aspects of the audit should be discussed with your lawyer.

No equipment is sold or shipped by us, and nobody comes on site. Order from your regular dealer; if helpful, we specify models that suit your licences and register themselves in Intune on first start. A colleague unboxes and powers up the device using our written instructions, after which we continue remotely.
