Microsoft A1/A3/A5 entitlements, ServiceNow facilities rollouts across 10-15 campuses, and federated buying across departments and affiliates. We know the academic pricing rules, the Mormon Church contracts, and the stalled Notre Dame and BYU deployments.
Higher education and K-12 institutions running A1/A3/A5 academic SKUs, ServiceNow, and multi-campus IT estates.
Academic SKUs have specific eligibility rules across faculty, staff, and student populations. Most universities are paying commercial rates on a meaningful slice of their estate.
Each campus, department, and research center buys its own seats. The same vendor sells fifteen contracts where one university-wide EA would deliver better price and terms.
Facilities, IT, and research-asset rollouts stall on data modeling and governance across distributed campuses. We're actively running deployments at this scale today.
POTS lines, analog campus telephony, and 30-year-old PBX systems sit on campus floor plans. Migration to UC and modern facilities management releases real cash.
We benchmark academic licensing against your actual faculty, staff, and student populations. Reclassification typically returns mid-six figures on a single university EA.
One negotiation across the system. Multi-campus institutions get coordinated leverage that decentralized buying can't deliver.
Active rollouts spanning 10-15 campuses for facilities and IT-asset management. Deployment, configuration, and governance handed back to your team.
POTS, PBX, and UC migration coordinated with facilities and IT. Single engagement covering software, cloud, and telecom.
"UMS has been an invaluable partner in managing our software costs - across multiple administrations, multiple agencies, and over $800M in cumulative savings."
A regional credit union replaced Snow with ServiceNow SAM Pro, delivered 22 scoped workstreams across entitlement, SaaS, reclamation, and reporting, and reached 90%+ normalization across 4,000+ discovered software records by handoff.
UMS reconciled a regional insurance carrier's Microsoft entitlements and deployments, showed its on-prem SQL Server, Windows Server, and System Center estate could stay on perpetual rights without new renewal purchases if versions stayed flat, and created a transfer-plus-downsize plan for the Microsoft 365 subscription stack.
Across multiple Microsoft reconciliation cycles, UMS helped a regional consumer finance lender reconcile deployment and entitlement data, surface hidden SQL and Office exposure, and turn annual true-up work into a repeatable operating process.
ServiceNow SAM Pro implementation, rescue, and optimization for teams that need normalized data, useful workflows, reclamation, and reporting that actually runs.
