boxxe awarded £291m contract with the MoD
Contract is one of the largest Microsoft deals in the UK public sector this year, claims boxxe
Boxxe has been awarded "one of the largest Microsoft deals in the UK public sector" through a contract with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) worth £291m.
The three-year contract, which boxxe claims is one of the largest Microsoft deals in the UK public sector this year - will see boxxe manage the MoD's Microsoft Enterprise Licencing agreement.
The agreement will see boxxe use their Licence Management Platform and Microsoft resources to support and manage its operations.
Boxxe has partnered with the MoD for 30 years and claims that its "deep understanding" of the defence sector means it will be able to respond to service issues with "flexibility and agility".
It claims the contract will also strengthen its relationship with Microsoft, "which is focused on delivering modern, sustainable and cloud-oriented outcomes for end users".
Rob Hennessey, head of defence, national security and healthcare sales at boxxe, said: "The MoD's modernisation and transformation programmes place technology at their heart and the need to maximise its potential has never been greater.
"Boxxe's skills, experience and expertise is focused on facilitating this, and we are delighted to have this opportunity to further support the MoD."
The reseller says it will work with the MoD team to "ensure every department can take advantage of this valuable investment".
"Available to other customers across the defence sector, boxxe's investment into specialist services and products, such as defence digital, continues to drive digital transformation across a variety of organisations, allowing teams to consume technology in a uniquely user-friendly and convenient way," the company said.
Boxxe's newly appointed CRO, Graham Long, told CRN ealrier this month that he believes the UK reseller space is "ready for some disruption". He said boxxe is ready to take on the goliaths of the industry and expand into the corporate customer space.
