Software Sales & Licensing

APIONOS simplifies the complex world of enterprise software. We act as your single point of contact for sourcing, negotiating, and managing software licenses from the world’s leading technology vendors.

Whether you need seats for Microsoft 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, or specialized enterprise tools, we leverage our tiered partnership status to secure the best possible volume pricing. Beyond simple transactions, we implement robust Software Asset Management (SAM) strategies. We help you track usage, identify redundant applications (“shelfware”), and ensure that your software spend is fully aligned with your actual business needs, eliminating waste and maximizing value.

Cost Optimization & Volume Licensing

Stop paying retail prices for your critical tools. We analyze your organization’s size and growth projections to recommend the most cost-effective licensing models—whether that is per-user, per-device, or consumption-based. We consolidate your vendor contracts to unlock volume discounts and streamline your billing process, often reducing total software spend by 15–30% in the first year.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

Software audits can be stressful and expensive. We protect your business by ensuring you remain fully compliant with End User License Agreements (EULAs). Our team conducts proactive internal assessments to verify that you have the right number of licenses for your deployed software. If a vendor audit does occur, we stand by your side with the data and documentation needed to resolve it quickly and without penalties.

Experience Block Navigating the Licensing Labyrinth Since 2009.

With over 15 years of experience negotiating with major tech giants like Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, and Adobe, APIONOS understands the fine print that others miss. We bridge the gap between complex legal terms and practical IT needs. Our deep vendor relationships mean we get answers faster and resolve licensing conflicts more effectively than an internal procurement team could alone.

We Work with Clients to Turn Software Liability into Strategic Capability.

CIO, Global Logistics

We were vastly overspending on licenses we weren't using, and we lived in fear of a compliance audit. APIONOS conducted a full inventory, consolidated our contracts, and saved us over $120k annually. They turned a chaotic mess into a streamlined process

Frequently Asked Questions

Which software vendors do you work with?

We are vendor-agnostic and work with all major technology providers, including Microsoft, Adobe, AWS, Google Workspace, VMware, Salesforce, and hundreds of specialized niche software providers.

Can you help us with a software audit we are facing right now?

Yes. If you have received an audit letter, contact us immediately. We can help gather the necessary data, interpret the vendor's claims, and negotiate on your behalf to minimize or eliminate potential fines.

What is "Shelfware" and how do you fix it?

"Shelfware" refers to software licenses you pay for but don't use. We use tracking tools to identify these unused seats and help you cancel or reassign them, ensuring you stop paying for air.

Do you handle license renewals automatically?

Yes. We track all your expiration dates and proactively notify you well in advance of renewals. We also use that time to review your usage and renegotiate terms if your needs have changed, so you never accidentally auto-renew unnecessary services.

SaaS vs. Perpetual licensing—which is better?

It depends on your cash flow and operational needs. SaaS (Subscription) offers flexibility and lower upfront costs, while Perpetual (One-time buy) can be cheaper long-term. We analyze your specific financial situation to recommend the best model for your business.
