Achieving global recognition
When the “Software Assurance Benefits Programme” was first introduced by Microsoft in September 2003, our market leading value-proposition was soon recognized by Microsoft (US) and the following year at the their Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto, we were invited to present to a global audience on how we were offering greater value to our customers via the Software Assurance programme. We were the only Microsoft reseller invited to present on this topic.
Our presentation led to the Microsoft “Clarity” campaign which was a global marketing initiative designed to educate other Microsoft resellers on how they should be adopting our value-based best practice.
“By providing customers with an innovative new service offering based on Microsoft’s Software Assurance benefits, Bytes Technology Group has enabled customers to get even more value from their software investments”
