Corona forces companies to work from home

This software is becoming scarce
After panic buying in pharmacies, drugstores and supermarkets, the Corona virus has reached the software industry. Software dealer VENDOSOFT already recorded an increase in demand for Remote Desktop Service CALs by 20 percent last week. Since Monday of this week, demand from companies has continued to skyrocket.
Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is an umbrella term for a function of Microsoft Windows servers that allows users to access data and Windows applications remotely. RDS is used to establish a connection to the servers in the company's own network from a remote location. Anyone who sends their employees to work from home needs these access licenses for licensing purposes.
The increased demand does not come as a surprise to the reseller of new and used software . According to VENDOSOFT managing director Björn Orth, the stocks are full. Only with older - and therefore particularly cheap - versions such as the Microsoft Windows Server 2016 RDS CAL or its predecessor from 2008 - are there already slight bottlenecks due to the increased demand.
"We purchased RDS CALs for Microsoft Windows Server 2019 with foresight," vietnam gambling data reports Orth. If necessary, a downgrade to earlier versions is also possible. This allows the licensing expert to reassure companies that are worried about how they will cope with the unexpected demand for more home office workstations.
Your first look should be at the reseller's website. Unlike Microsoft itself, VENDOSOFT sells RDS licenses as used software, among other things - and thus 30 to 40 percent below the new price. "This should please IT managers. Because this spontaneous need for Remote Desktop Service CALs is certainly not anchored in the 2020 IT budget," says Björn Orth.
With so many people working from home, it makes sense to simplify communication channels between employees in addition to connecting to the company server. The Microsoft cloud products Office 365 or Microsoft 365 are ideal for this, as they include Microsoft Teams - a platform that enables chats, meetings, notes and file attachments for employees to exchange information with each other.
Both products are currently subsidized by VENDOSOFT with 50 euros per month for three months!
At VENDOSOFT, we are prepared for the demand for remote working spaces. Microsoft Licensing Professionals provide free advice on the optimal licensing for your company.
