In 2011 Bytes were ranked as the 2nd largest supplier to the NHS, having managed over 60% of the NHS-wide Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.
Bytes are experts in providing licensing solutions to the NHS. We have a highly experienced and established NHS Account Management team who are well versed in the various ways that the NHS needs to be licensed for its software. This benefits our NHS customers with the knowledge that any advice provided by Bytes will take previous license assignments into account.
It is essential that NHS Organisations partner with a reseller that fully understands how the NHS has historically managed its Microsoft licensing. Having managed 60% of the NHS-Wide Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, the Bytes account management team are experts in the many licensing aspects that are unique to the NHS, some of which include:
Central agreements such as PASA, EWA, APA, and how those are allocated
Entitlements granted from the NHS Infrastructure Maturity Model (NIMM)
License grants and exceptions such as Terminal Services and Windows XP
Your Bytes account manager will be able to exploit entitlements from historic agreements, identifying where those entitlements can benefit your organisation and lower your licensing costs.
We are able to offer the NHS solutions from all major vendors and can offer a range of solutions from our market leading Software Asset Management team. Bytes can help you manage all aspects of your software estate, helping you drive down the costs of managing your software estate.

Following our recent work with Bytes in assisting with understanding and resolving the issues over the Enterprise Wide Agreement (EWA) termination, I am pleased to report that my organisation has received an excellent service from Bytes. Our Account Manager Luke, and his support Laressa, have turned around any requests for information and advice very promptly. They always provide us with informed advice and have been able to enlighten me more fully regarding the mysteries and complexities of Software Licensing.
In addition to this they are extremely pro-active in driving down pricing from software vendors, enabling us to reduce our costs in software licensing, whilst putting me in contact with the relevant vendor account managers to ensure the Trusts I service receive the best possible value for money. Great work!
