Having many years of experience in the education sector, we understand that you want the most cost-effective and simple licensing solutions for your school’s software.

Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solutions (EES)

The Microsoft Enrolment for Education Solution (EES) offers:

  • Easy compliance
  • Customised solutions
  • Lower TCO and administration
  • Simplified asset management

With EES you can licence single, multiple or even an entire school system, such as a local authority without the need to track every computer in your system, just your FTE (staff that work over 200 hrs per year) count once per year.
