Questions

Buying licences on their own.

Can I buy Microsoft 365 without an IT support contract?

Yes. Solvida supplies Microsoft 365 business plans on their own, billed monthly or annually, with no IT support or managed service contract attached. You pay Microsoft’s UK prices, with a lower volume price for teams of 6 or more, and Managed Licensing is included.

What is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP)?

The Cloud Solution Provider programme is how Microsoft lets authorised partners sell and bill its cloud subscriptions, such as Microsoft 365 and Azure, to businesses. The partner manages the subscriptions and the billing, and Microsoft provides the service. Solvida is a Microsoft partner and an indirect CSP reseller, supplying licences through Microsoft’s partner programme via an authorised distributor.

What is a licensing-only Microsoft partner?

A partner whose business is supplying and managing software licences, rather than running your IT. Solvida helps each person onto the plan that suits them, bills the licences, and reviews them every quarter. It does not provide IT support, a helpdesk or managed IT services.

Why would a business choose a licensing-only partner?

Your licensing advice isn’t tied to selling you a support contract, so if your licences are already right you’ll be told so. You can buy licences without committing to anything else, and keep whichever IT company you already use. And someone still checks your licences every quarter and times changes to your renewal dates.

Can I keep my current IT support company?

Yes. Your IT company can carry on looking after your systems while your licences are billed through Solvida. Many businesses also have no IT company at all, and that works just as well.

Can I buy Microsoft Azure without a managed service?

Yes. Solvida can set up an Azure subscription in your business’s name, billed monthly on what you use. Building or running things in Azure is project work, which your own IT provider can do, or which we can quote for separately.

Who do I contact if the software has a problem?

Each product is supported by the company that makes it, under its own terms. Solvida deals with licensing and billing queries, such as adding people, changing plans and renewals.

Can I buy security software like SentinelOne or CrowdStrike without a security service?

Yes. Solvida supplies the software licences for SentinelOne and CrowdStrike endpoint protection. We don’t provide security services, so setting up and monitoring the software is done by your IT provider or by the vendor’s own services.

What if I need help setting things up or moving from Google?

That is project work, quoted for your business after a free call and supplied under our Terms of Business. You see the full quote before anything starts.

Is buying through a CSP more expensive than buying direct from Microsoft?

No. Solvida charges Microsoft’s UK prices for teams of 1 to 5, and a lower volume price for teams of 6 or more. Buying direct gives you the same product, while buying through Solvida adds Managed Licensing at no extra cost.

Can Solvida supply software other than Microsoft?

Yes. Alongside Microsoft 365, Copilot and Azure, Solvida supplies business software such as Adobe Acrobat and Creative Cloud, Acronis backup, SentinelOne and CrowdStrike endpoint protection, and Exclaimer email signatures. Ask about anything else your business uses.

Buy Microsoft 365 through Solvida. Managed Licensing is included.

Every quarter we review your licences and the accounts behind them, so an unused licence is spotted and someone who has left isn't still signed in. Email us when someone joins or leaves. We reconcile it at the next review, or before your renewal date if that comes first. While your licences are billed through us, that costs nothing extra.

Is your Microsoft 365 the right fit?
