The right software, at the right price, managed for you

Software licensing is one of those things that’s easy to overlook and expensive to get wrong. LIMA takes the complexity out of it, making sure your organisation has the licences it needs, renewed on time, at the right cost, with the right level of support behind them.

The Challenge

Between Microsoft 365 subscriptions, security software, hardware support contracts, third-party warranty renewals and everything else that sits in a typical IT environment, software licensing quickly becomes a sprawling, time-consuming management task. Miss a renewal and you lose cover. Over-licence and you’re wasting budget. Navigate it alone and you’re spending time on administration that could be better spent elsewhere.

LIMA manages software licensing and vendor agreements across your key technology partners, taking on the procurement, renewal tracking and advisory work so you don’t have to.

Make the most of Microsoft, with LIMA

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner across Azure Infrastructure, Modern Work and Security, we help you identify the right software for your needs, optimise how your licences are used, and train your team to get the most from them. You can self-provision your environment – adding, assigning and removing licences in seconds – and billing is automated, transparent and monthly. Our 2-hour SLA outperforms Microsoft’s standard 8 hours, with UK-based specialists available 24/7.

For M365 security and backup specifically, we partner with Hornetsecurity – and as their Partner of the Year and only UK Gold Partner, we deliver a complete, AI-powered security and backup wrap for your Microsoft 365 environment. That means advanced email security, automated immutable backups, security awareness training, access and permission controls, and domain fraud protection. That’s security built into how you manage your Microsoft environment from day one.

Beyond Microsoft

Beyond Microsoft, we manage licensing and renewals across your broader technology estate – whether that’s Dell hardware support contracts, Veeam backup licensing, Cisco software or other third-party tools. We make sure nothing falls through the cracks, and we bring a consultative approach to every renewal, helping you understand what’s worth keeping, what’s worth replacing, and where you might be paying for more than you need.
