Interim report with recommendations for improving value for money

Becta announced in January 2006 that it intended to conduct a review of Microsoft’s academic licensing programmes, focusing on the range, scope and cost of the licensing programmes available, and the extent to which these not only met the needs of schools and colleges, but also represented value for money.

In announcing the review, Becta indicated that it would pay particular attention to Microsoft’s subscription licensing models and the risks associated with non-perpetual licences. The review therefore examined the total costs of exiting subscription licence agreements and the corresponding risks of ‘lock-in’.
