Accessing The Full Width Of Microsoft 365
Microsoft applications are a vital part of business working. Working with Akita, we can ensure your organisation gets what it needs – plus extra at no additional cost.
Where once organisations would purchase a single perpetual Microsoft Office licence that covered their business application needs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc), there are now a myriad of licence subscriptions available covering business, enterprise, non-profit and education requirements.
Under each of these areas, there’s a range of licences available, each providing access to different features and applications. So it can be valuable (and cost-effective) to work with a partner like Akita to help navigate the offerings.
Plus with our in-house expertise we can help your organisation to unlock the benefits of applications that you have as part of your licence but may not be using: Teams, SharePoint or Intune to name a few.
Common Microsoft 365 Licensing
Most organisational requirements can be met by the following licence types:
At the same time, organisations should be aware of new offerings on the horizon. Microsoft Modern Workplace and Windows 365 Cloud PC are both offerings tailored to new working practices, so could be future fixtures in your organisations.
Microsoft Charity Licensing
Akita is also a specialist in supporting charity and non-profit organisations with their Microsoft licensing services.
We understand the financial constraints and operational challenges that charities face. As such we work to leverage the often significant discounts and offers available for Microsoft products.
From Office 365 to Azure, our licensing solutions ensure you have access to the latest technology, enabling your team to work efficiently and effectively. Meanwhile, the non-profit accelerator can help charities go further with business applications faster and at a lower cost point.
Our expert team will provide comprehensive lincesing support for your charity, taking the complexity out of your IT licensing while minimising costs.

Licence Management Services
Our services go beyond simply transacting Microsoft licences.
We can assist with ongoing Microsoft licensing management, helping you to assign new resources and reassign existing resources based on changes within your organisation (joiners and leavers for example).
We’ll also notify you when licences are due for renewal to ensure they’re still required, removing as necessary
Our experts will also help you to maximise the use of your existing licences, ensuring you’re aware of and using all of the features that you have access to.
Saving Money On Your Microsoft 365 Licensing
Microsoft Licence Audits & Optimisation
We can also help organisations achieve better value from their Microsoft licensing.
Through an audit of your existing licensing, we’ll establish what you really need against what you have. For example, you could be using Microsoft 365 E3 licences across your organisation, but half of your team only need Microsoft 365 Business Premium. This simple change could save your organisation over £150 per year per person.
As a partner, we also receive offers directly from Microsoft not available to the public. So if there’s a promotion available that could benefit your organisation, we’ll be sure to pass the savings on. And we can access charity and non-profit licensing for applicable organisations.
We can also work with organisations to manage changing requirements. Whether you’re looking to implement SharePoint across your organisation, adopt advanced security requirements or utilise Window’s virtual desktop, we can assist you in getting the licensing you need.
Microsoft Cloud Services
Microsoft Azure Licensing
Akita is increasingly supporting organisations with their Microsoft Azure licensing requirements as well.
Azure is perhaps Microsoft’s most complex service to license due to the wide range of optionality depending on the intended function. So whether new to Microsoft’s cloud hosting or looking for someone to support your onward journey, it can pay to work with a partner who understands Azure licensing.
As a pioneer of business cloud solutions, Akita has the technical cloud knowledge to help organisations achieve their end goals with Azure. We can then set about licensing your Azure tenant to maximise the value you get out of it while keeping your spending as low as possible.
