IT Procurement and Licensing Services
Specify the right hardware and licensing, buy it without the guesswork, and keep renewals and asset records visible rather than scattered across inboxes.
Our Approach to Procurement & licensing
Procurement goes wrong in predictable ways: devices bought on price that cannot be managed, licences renewed for people who left, and no single record of what the business owns. Cloud Agile helps you specify what is genuinely needed, supply or source it, and keep licensing and asset information current.
Everything You Need From Procurement & licensing
- Requirements gathering for devices, infrastructure and software
- Hardware and software selection against how teams work
- Microsoft 365 and cloud licensing review and optimisation
- Device procurement, warranty and lifecycle planning
- Renewal calendar and contract visibility
- Deployment coordination and asset records
Specifying before buying
The cheapest device is rarely the cheapest outcome. We specify against the role: what the person does, how long the device should last, how it will be managed and what happens when it fails.
- Role-based device standards rather than a different model every purchase
- Warranty level and expected replacement cycle
- Manageability, including enrolment into Microsoft Intune where used
- Accessories, docking and peripherals that people actually need
- Lead times and stock realities, which change constantly
Microsoft 365 and cloud licensing
Licensing drifts. People leave, trials convert, and duplicate products creep in. A periodic review usually finds savings, and often funds something more useful.
- Review of assigned licences against active users and actual usage
- Identifying duplication and overlapping products
- Matching plan levels to the features each group genuinely needs
- Renewal dates, contract terms and commitment implications
- Reinvesting savings into security or capability improvements
How we work commercially
Cloud Agile can recommend and supply hardware, software and licensing, and we earn reseller revenue when we do. We say so openly. You are free to buy elsewhere and we will still specify, deploy and support what you purchase.
What we will not do is recommend something that does not fit the requirement, or hold your environment hostage to a purchase.
- Product comparison with the reasoning shown, not just a single quote
- Freedom to buy through another supplier with no impact on support
- Deployment, enrolment and configuration coordinated with delivery
- Asset records, warranty data and documentation kept current
How a Project Works
- 1
Understand
Clarify the requirement, the roles involved and the budget position.
- 2
Specify
Recommend products and licensing with the comparison and reasoning shown.
- 3
Procure
Place orders, track lead times and keep you informed on delivery.
- 4
Deploy
Configure, enrol and hand over devices, then record them as assets.
- 5
Review
Track renewals, licence usage and lifecycle so the next cycle is planned, not reactive.
The Outcomes You'll Actually See
Fewer bad purchases
Role-based standards and honest comparison stop devices arriving that cannot be managed or supported.
Licensing under control
Regular review removes duplication and unused assignments, and renewals stop arriving as surprises.
Records you can rely on
Assets, warranties and licence positions stay documented rather than living in old email threads.
What Success Looks Like
- Device and software standards matched to roles
- A reviewed licensing position with duplication removed
- A visible renewal calendar and contract position
- Current asset records, warranty data and deployment documentation

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make money on what you supply?+
Yes. Where we supply hardware, software or licensing we earn reseller revenue, so we are not a supplier-independent procurement adviser. We are open about it, we show the comparison behind a recommendation, and you are free to buy elsewhere.
Can you review our Microsoft 365 licensing without a wider project?+
Yes. A licensing review can be done as a standalone piece of work. We look at assigned licences against active users and usage, identify duplication and set out where plan levels could be adjusted.
Can we buy hardware ourselves and still have you deploy it?+
Absolutely. We will specify what suits the role, and configure, enrol and support whatever you purchase, regardless of where it came from.
Do you keep an asset register for us?+
Yes, for equipment we procure or deploy. We record device details, warranty information and assignment, so replacement planning is based on real data.
