Netpower IT Solutions AS · Licence advisory
Find out what you are actually paying for
“We were told we needed this – but what are we actually paying for?” Let us find out together.
A review of the whole portfolio · Set against the way you work · Concrete advice on cuts and changes · Available on its own
Sound familiar?
The most common licensing question we get is not a technical one. It is: what are we actually paying for, and do we need it? Often the answer is that more, or dearer, was bought than the organisation has any use for.
A good fit if you …
- Have inherited a licence portfolio nobody quite knows
- Suspect you are paying for a higher tier than you need
- Want advice that is not steered by a vendor bonus
What you get
We go through your licence portfolio and set it against the way you actually work.
- A review of the whole licence portfolio — not only whatever was bought last.
- The portfolio set against daily work — the need decides, not the product sheet.
- Concrete advice — what can be cut, what should change and what is missing.
- Advice that is ours, not a vendor’s — based on your need, not on what pays the biggest bonus.
How we go about it
Three steps from today’s portfolio to advice you can act on.
We look at what you hold
The first step is an overview of the licence portfolio as it stands today – across vendors and agreements.
- The whole portfolio gathered in one place
- Tiers and quantities reviewed
We look at how you work
Then we set the portfolio against daily work. Who needs what, and who was given something they never took into use?
- The need assessed role by role
- Tiers dearer than necessary brought to light
You get the advice
The result is concrete advice on what can be cut, what should change and what is missing. The advisory can be bought on its own, or as part of our licence management.
- Cuts, changes and gaps point by point
- We can carry the changes through for you

Why Netpower IT Solutions?
An alternative to the large providers: small, dedicated teams that work closely with you the whole way.
Advice based on your need
We recommend from the way you work, not from what pays the biggest bonus at a vendor. Often that means cutting rather than buying more.
People you can phone
The advisers sit in Norway and know both the licences and the systems they belong to. You get a name, not a case number.

What customers ask first
“Do we have to buy the licences from you afterwards?”
No. The advisory can be bought on its own. If you want us to order and follow up the licences as well, that is licence management.
“Where do we stand today?”
That is the first part of the job. We go through the portfolio as it stands now, before saying anything about what it ought to be.
“Is the advice coloured by what you sell?”
The advice rests on your need, not on what pays the biggest bonus at a vendor. The conclusion is often that something can be cut.
