VERNA is a reliable partner for the supply of licensed software. Our professionalism, choice of reliable manufacturers, wide range of products, consulting support and flexibility in pricing make us a reliable supplier for many customers.
By purchasing the software, users receive a license that grants the right to use this software. The terms of use of the software, for example, the possibility of transferring to another PC, the right to use previous versions, are fixed in the relevant agreement accompanying the delivery of the product.
The most common type of such agreement is the End User License Agreement (EULA). It accompanies products that ship with new computers (OEM) or separately in retail (retail version). The EULA is usually distributed electronically and is displayed when the product is first launched. The user must agree to its terms before installing the software.
If the product is purchased under one of the corporate licensing programs, the product usage rules specified in the Microsoft Product Use Rights (PUR) document apply. This document, together with the text of the corporate agreement under which the software is purchased, defines the terms of use of such software. The PUR document is updated quarterly, so its study is mandatory for software sales professionals.

Many people who work in the IT industry, be it directors or ordinary employees of the company, have heard about the Microsoft Office 365 corporation product. There is a misconception that this service is another embodiment of office applications implemented in Microsoft's cloud infrastructure. In fact, this is a global comprehensive service, a set of programs and utilities that exist in almost every organization.
Today it is difficult to imagine that any company actively working in the market does not have an email system or does not have a document flow. Moreover, having a corporate mailbox with a corporate domain name is considered a good tone. For such companies, the Office 365 project was created, which includes a mail service, a voice video service, a document management service and, of course, a standard set of office applications.
Advantages of the solution
This is the reliability of information storage, the availability of information, the reliability of the service at the level of 99.9%, the ease of scaling the solution with the increase in the number of users, the preservation of commercial information in case of unforeseen circumstances, starting with weather phenomena and ending with the actions of regulatory authorities.
Choosing an Office 365 solution does not oblige the user to abandon their own existing infrastructure. This solution allows you to create a hybrid infrastructure, where some users are in a public cloud environment, and some work in a private cloud environment or any other option.
VERNA, a Microsoft Gold Partner, offers customers solutions to transition from mail, communication, document management and collaboration on their own hardware to a public cloud environment.
Such a step will allow the user to free up significant computing resources, get reliable service, reduce the cost of power supply and cooling of equipment, free personnel from routine tasks, directing free forces to other projects.
It is not correct to evaluate the product only by price, since in this case we forget about the hidden, invisible on the surface costs associated with the obsolescence of equipment, the growth of users, software updates, electricity payments and the remuneration of employees engaged in the administration of the system. We suggest you consider the analysis of the cost of ownership of a traditional solution compared to a cloud product on a fairly long time interval.
