Why Tech 923 Uses a BYOL Model — And Why It’s Better for You
When it comes to IT services, you’ve probably seen plenty of providers offering bundles that include everything under the sun—licenses, support, software, hardware, and a dash of fine print.
At Tech 923, we take a different approach.
We believe in transparency, flexibility, and empowering our clients. That’s why we’ve chosen to build our services around a BYOL (Bring-Your-Own-License) model.
What is BYOL?
In simple terms, BYOL means you own and control your software licenses, and we manage, support, and secure the environment they run in.
Instead of marking up Microsoft 365, antivirus tools, or backup platforms and bundling them into your monthly bill, we let you purchase or maintain those licenses directly from the source or a reseller of your choice.
Why This Model Benefits You
✅ Full Ownership & Portability
Your licenses aren’t tied to any service provider—including us. You can switch vendors, upgrade services, or change your tech stack without worrying about losing access to critical tools.
✅ Transparency in Billing
No hidden markups or bundled fees. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for—licenses are billed directly by your vendor, and our service fees are crystal clear.
✅ Leverage Existing Discounts
If you already have a Microsoft 365 agreement, enterprise discount, or nonprofit pricing, you keep those savings. There’s no need to pay more to bundle what you already own.
✅ Independent Vendor Relationships
You maintain direct access to your software vendors, which means better visibility into your licensing, support agreements, and roadmap planning.
Isn’t That More Complicated?
Not at all.
We simplify everything around the license:
- We’ll review your current licensing during onboarding to make sure it matches your needs.
- We’ll work with your existing vendor or reseller to coordinate any necessary changes.
- We’ll support and secure your environment just like we would with any license we sold ourselves.
You get all the value of a trusted MSP—without the lock-in or mystery fees.
Want Help with Licensing?
We’ve got you covered. We offer optional license advisory services to:
- Help you understand your current license mix
- Optimize based on usage and business needs
- Recommend trusted resellers or CSPs
- Plan transitions to new platforms or license tiers
It’s all part of our commitment to helping you get the most value from your technology—on your terms.
