The Institut Florimont is a renowned educational establishment in the canton of Geneva, catering for students from the first year of nursery school right through to their maturité gymnasiale, French baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate (IB). Its aim is to enable each student to reach his or her full potential, a quality that extends to the whole of the Institute, including the IT team and the projects it puts in place to address the challenges faced by everyone - students, administrative staff and teaching staff alike.
We have been working for many years with our client, who has honoured us with its confidence in the provision of its software licences.
On the strength of this long-standing collaboration, we are committed to offering our customers more efficient solutions and are constantly seeking to better meet their expectations, offering them more practical and less expensive solutions.
It was against this backdrop, and in the light of this special relationship, that we sought to offer Jean-Marc Robyr‘s team optimum solutions. We held discussions that enabled us to better adapt to our customer‘s needs and give him access to dedicated solutions. ‘We had different contracts with different suppliers.
It seemed appropriate, given our relationships and the skills of the Bechtle teams, to entrust them with the management of our licences, with the aim of standardising our processes and management. We have had no regrets about this choice, as the solutions offered by Bechtle‘s software specialists have provided us with unprecedented optimisation. ‘explains Jean-Marc Robyr.
The solution.
We operate in a simple and effective way, always starting with a discussion of IT objectives and requirements.
We listen, take account of the issues and understand the objectives and constraints. The close and longstanding relationship we have with our customer enables us to understand their expectations and respond to the complexities of their business. Our mutual trust has enabled us to broaden our scope of action, as we now have wide visibility of all the licences and requirements of the Institut Florimont‘s IT team. What‘s more, thanks to its status as an educational establishment and the detailed work carried out by our Software team, we were able to offer our customer a Microsoft EES contract. ‘We were able to carry out an inventory of our Microsoft licences with the help of Bechtle‘s software specialist, which gave us the opportunity to examine the Institute‘s real needs. As a result, together we were able to analyse, then control and finally optimise our Microsoft licences. We now manage all our Microsoft licences under a single contract,’ says Jean-Marc Robyr.
Bechtle‘s teams are always ready to listen and provide us with privileged support. The relationships with all our contacts, their commitment, their skills and their adaptability mean that we have a detailed understanding of our needs and a proactive approach that makes our day-to-day work easier.

Benefits.
‘This EES contract not only gives us greater visibility over the status of our licences, but also provides us with greater flexibility and simpler management, not to mention huge time savings and unprecedented cost reductions. We‘ve divided our budget by 3. What‘s more, the ease of use is a real advantage: we benefit from a high degree of flexibility in terms of our annual activities, which are adapted to our school calendar, and we can add new licences as and when we wish and when the need arises.
The excellent visibility in the Azure console is a real advantage, as we now have a single contract for all our Microsoft products, with annual invoicing. This centralisation is an undeniable time saver. Bechtle‘s processes also enable us to manage our processes simply and responsively. This high level of satisfaction has led us to put our trust in Bechtle‘s software teams to manage our Adobe VIP contract via the Bechtle MarketPlace,’ concludes Jean-Marc Robyr.
