By commencing cooperation with global leader in software solutions “Microsoft” company our customers will have an opportunity to purchase software solutions of “Microsoft” together with broadband internet, telephony, IP television and other services from one source. This is the complete package of services necessary for the business, while the customers can themselves decide the preferred terms of the use of the software licenses”, "Rostelecom" Armenia’s General Director Hayk Farmazyan said.

“Rostelekom” cooperates with representative office of Microsoft Corporation in Armenia in various IT projects.

“We have cooperated with “Rostelecom” company for many years in different projects and initiatives in Armenia. This new service only reinforces the partnership based on mutual trust, and I am convinced the representatives of the corporate market will benefit first of all. I would like to particularly point out that the entry of this joint service into the market will greatly promote the application of licensed software packages by companies in Armenia which in our days has become the guarantee for effective and smooth operation”,  Director of Microsoft Armenia Liana Korkotyan said.

Up till now companies could acquire the Microsoft Office O365 license package online and with long-term conditions, but “Rostelekom” will offer more favorable conditions to companies.

“MONT” company was recognized the best provider of cloud solutions to “Microsoft” at the Worldwide Partner Conference 2016 in Canada’s Toronto on July 15.  

The indisputable advantage of cloud solutions is the reduction of capital expenditure and IT infrastructure service costs. If a company establishes a local IT infrastructure, it can save money only by refusing to purchase additional servers, applying virtualization technologies. Hence, the majority of the companies seek for new solutions.

“MONT Company offers cloud solutions with monthly subscription. “Cloud transformation” is the main aim of the distributor and we expand our capacities with “Rostelecom” by creating privileged condition for all the corporate subscribers of the company”, Ruben Yesayan, head of MONT's representative office in Armenia said.

Hence, as a result of the trilateral agreement new conditions with monthly subscription terms for applying licensed software packages are offered to all the legal entities easing their acquisition process by companies.
