Microsoft office is one of the most frequently used software packages used around the world. The complete package allows you to do almost everything that is needed for a business to function, from writing documents in Word to managing financial records in Excel and even creating visual presentations in PowerPoint. Almost every company uses at least one of these programs on a regular basis.

If you're upgrading the software in your business or simply maintaining compliance, it can be difficult to know the exact scale and level of licences needed to cover all your employees and have room for expansion too. One solution to this is to work with a Microsoft Authorised Reseller for a Microsoft Office for multiple computers licence, which can provide you with the freedom you need to keep your business thriving and your budgets tight.
