Free of Charge Licence Management Services

Our resources have access to the right contacts within IBM's licencing teams and have in-depth knowledge of the internal processes (called Passport Advantage), which helps when trying to get the best deal for our customers. We can offer a Licence Assessment for the entire IBM product suite to compare the licence requirements of the organisation with the best offers, bundles and packages available from IBM, with the aim of reducing spending over a given period of time.

New IBM customers may find the entire licensing programme (from initial understanding, to recognising pricing structures and renewals) a burden on their resources. Outsourcing this activity to R-Com Consulting can ease the burden. This service is offered to R-Com Consulting customer without charge as part of our Customer Commitment Programme.
