PRE-OWNED SOFTWARE FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND
CONTRACTING AUTHORITIES

Private companies are largely free to determine the nature of their IT structure and are able to decide how and when to carry out purchases or updates in line with their needs. The situation is different for public institutions and bodies, as local authorities must often observe certain rules and regulations as well as ensuring compatibility with a number of specially developed applications. As a result, they have less flexibility when switching to and implementing new software, and in many cases are completely unable to use the latest versions. Often, this not only affects in-house software, but also standard applications such as Microsoft Office.

With many years of experience dealing in pre-owned and new software licenses specifically for public bodies, LizenzDirekt is the ideal partner for local authorities when buying, selling and installing software. We do our utmost to ensure a seamless, cost-effective overhaul of your IT system.

OUR RECOMMENDATION

If you, your Management Board or your legal department wish to learn more about the current legal situation, we recommend the following publication by the German publisher ‘Behörden Spiegel’, which is relevant to public bodies and businesses alike:

  • Principles governing the procurement of used software licences by public contracting authorities
  • In our opinion this has been by far the best set of guidelines on dealing in pre-owned software in Europe for many years.
  • Available to download online from the guidelines page of the Behörden Spiegel (already in its 2nd updated edition published in three languages)

IS YOUR INSTITUTION INTERESTED IN SELLING SOFTWARE LICENSES?

At LizenzDirekt, local authorities, public bodies and contracting authorities can not only buy new and pre-owned software, but can also sell licenses they no longer need at attractive prices. This allows them to increase their resources by turning unused licenses into liquidity. Don’t hesitate to contact us for a quote.

CHARACTERISTICS OF PUBLIC SECTOR IT SYSTEMS

The specialist applications used by public bodies are often even more varied and complex than those used by companies, due in part but not exclusively to the use of in-house software. This can make it difficult to find the right software or version for a particular public institution, taking into account costs, license term, availability etc. That is why LizenzDirekt helps contracting authorities not only with the purchase, sale and implementation of software, but also provides detailed advice to help them find their ideal software in next to no time.

Are you responsible for a public sector IT department? Then LizenzDirekt is the partner for you!
