Praise for Misco AMS
Misco’s Education team can help you manage your ICT, software licences and general inventory more effectively.
We have already won some major contracts for the Misco AMS solution and the feedback from authorities and schools has been phenomenal – but don’t just take our word for it – read on to find out what our customers have to say:
"We were keen to encourage our schools to have an effective inventory management system in place. It was important that the system we chose addressed the issues faced by schools, and in particular - software licence management. It has proved to be very popular with our schools with one school IT manager now providing a training course on user skills to others."
John Yates, ICT strategy manager of Middlesbrough Borough Council
"Time savings and accuracy of information are the two main benefits. When I first saw how much software was on our PCs I was very surprised! I now know what needs licensing, what type of licence it is and when it needs renewing. I can also judge whether titles are needed on certain PCs so that will save our school money in the future. The alert section tells me that day if software has been added to any PC, and there is a lot to be said for having the peace of mind knowing the school is legal."
Alex Duncan, IT manager, Green Lane Primary School
