Ulm University Hospital uses Microsoft Campus agreement and enhances
cooperation with asknet
Less administration means more time for patients
Karlsruhe - September 26, 2013 - Based on its positive experiences so far,
Ulm University Hospital has increased its current Microsoft Campus
arrangement with asknet, the Karlsruhe-based provider of eProcurement, by
50 percent. This will give the hospital more time to manage its Microsoft
licenses.
The Campus agreement that the hospital has concluded with asknet reduces
its administrative burden in complying with license management
requirements: Ulm University Hospital must now only provide information on
the number of employees using Microsoft products on the annual contract
deadline. Based on this information, asknet calculates the annual license
fee and the license is valid for all computers, regardless of how many
devices are being used.
This agreement provides administrative advantages when new employees are
hired, for example, as they are immediately licensed to use all products.
Thus, the costs of complying with IT licenses are kept to a minimum. At the
same time, clients can be sure that the license doesn't expire.
As asknet services can be easily integrated into existing university
structures, the Karlsruhe-based company is already a market leader for
eProcurement portals in the education and research sector. asknet has been
developing and implementing shopping portals for software products since
1995, and 80 percent of German universities now rank among the company's
customers. With the Microsoft Campus agreements, asknet offers a
streamlined solution not only to universities, but also to teaching
hospitals by minimizing the administrative burden associated with Microsoft
licenses. After all, the management of licenses for such programs as
Windows Server (Exchange, SharePoint, and Lync), MS Office Professional or
Terminal and Remote Desktop are extremely time-consuming.
Besides Ulm University Hospital, the university hospitals in Aachen,
Münster and Saarland also have Microsoft Campus agreements with asknet.
