Many Non-Profit organisations are not aware that there are a couple of really great software licensing resources that will empower them with free or near-free software licenses for key business software they use every day.
IT Managers should also be aware of these resources as there are many technical support and management related software’s that organisations could leverage through their IT Departments / Personal which would enable them to be more strategic and cost efficient in some cases.
Microsoft is the first resource I would like to mention as most organisations in North America utilize MS as their foundation software. Below is a link where you can explore MS options:
Another great resource is Tech Soup who has established relationships with most of the major software vendors and can be the single source or additional source for licenses. Tech Soup will charge an administrative fee however it is quite small and comparatively to MSRP is inexpensive.
