FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 18, 2009 -- The new framework agreement gives schools, local authorities and colleges an attractive route to obtain software licenses through simple, cost-effective arrangements. It will offer a broad range of commercial, off-the-shelf software and licenses, together with a range of value-adding support services, for example, sourcing, installation, technical support and license management.

The new arrangements came into effect on 9 October 2008 and replace the previous successful Becta software licensing framework agreement. They will provide education sector customers with a quick, EU-compliant route to procure software in the following categories:

• Operating Systems
• Office Productivity and Database
• Design, Development and Testing Tools
• Network and Security Software
• Utilities, Data Management and Storage
• Enterprise Resource Planning and Management Information Software.

Both proprietary and open source options will be available to meet customers' specific needs, and they will also be able to access a range of supporting services including purchasing advice, software sourcing, technical support, training and licence management.

Joskos are extremely proud to be selected after a very rigorous tender process.
