Whether you’re renewing your cloud technology licenses or looking for new solutions for your school or campus, take advantage of our competitively solicited contracts with renowned, industry-leading cloud providers that include special terms, conditions, and substantially discounted rates.
The cloud computing market is growing exponentially in education, and cloud license management and cost control are crucial for institutions that rely on these services for their operations.
Faculty and staff often purchase cloud solutions without the knowledge or direction of IT leaders or procurement, making cloud license management a major challenge for institutions.
Want to keep cloud technology providers aligned to your contract and get full visibility into your campus spend? Our Carahsoft contract helps you identify these licenses and provides tools to manage cloud vendors and campus users. Their support teams deliver usage reports that indicate all licenses your institution currently has with manufacturers and affiliated resellers, system integrators, and consulting partner providers.
