Why Bytes for Symantec?
As a Symantec Platinum Partner with a vast team of Licensing Specialists and Symantec Technical Consultants, you can be confident that you will receive the best service. The portfolio of solutions available from Symantec is now so huge that you need a partner you can trust to advise you not only on the licensing programmes available but to also assist with your technical requirements in areas such as solution design and implementation. In particular, where key projects are taking place in your business, we can fully support you in making the right technology decisions.
As licensing experts, we can help you understand your current software estate, through a Software Asset Management review. You can opt to Self Start your review (and select the vendors you wish to include), which will result in a statement that details your Actual License Position (ALP). Many of our clients find that this is the best way to approach an Asset Management project, as we are able to work with you in a vendor neutral capacity, identifying positive / negative deltas and working with you to ensure that you are purchasing in the most effective way, based upon that position. This also means that once this process is complete, you are at a significantly reduced risk of vendor initiated audits. Being a Symantec SAM Partner, we can obtain detailed Install Base Reports to help correspond with what you already own ensuring that you only ever pay for what you need.
Bytes have various Technical Accreditations for Symantec including Veritas Netbackup, Enterprise Vault, Backup Exec and Storage Foundation. Our Storage consultants have over 6 years experience in all of the aforementioned and are always involved from the beginning of an engagement. Bytes feel that having the consultants aligned to projects from the start really adds value to the customer project and removes the risk around recommended solutions, making sure that the technology is fully suited to your specific environment. Additionally and more recently, Bytes have made a significant investment into Altiris, and have 2 Certified Engineers in this field. Being an integrated part of our Software Portfolio Management proposition, whether you are an existing user or new, Bytes are able to assist with health checks, reviews and new installations across the portfolio.
"We have had a strategic relationship with Bytes that now spans several years. They thoroughly understand our portfolio and licensing programs, and are always looking to embrace our nascent technologies. This is good for the end customer, as Bytes can provide the most appropriate Symantec solution; as well as purchasing methods for greater return on investment."
