Net Protocol Marks 10 Years as a Microsoft Authorised Education Reseller

Net Protocol, a leading IT consultancy for the education sector, is proud to celebrate 10 years as a Microsoft Authorised Education Reseller (AER)—a designation that recognises our expertise in providing Microsoft solutions tailored for academic institutions.

Earning Microsoft AER status requires resellers to demonstrate in-depth knowledge of Microsoft’s academic licensing and a commitment to delivering cost-effective, high-quality technology solutions to schools, colleges, and universities. This authorisation enables Net Protocol to provide discounted Microsoft Academic licenses, ensuring that educational institutions have access to the tools they need to support modern learning environments.

With over 25 years of industry experience, Net Protocol specialises in IT consultancy and managed services for the education and legal sectors. Our expertise spans enterprise-grade IT solutions, helping organisations—from SMBs to large multi-site academies—enhance security, efficiency, and performance.

“Achieving Microsoft AER status 10 years ago reinforced our dedication to the academic IT sector, and we continue to deliver expert guidance and cutting-edge solutions to education providers across the UK. Our goal is to empower schools and institutions with the latest Microsoft technologies, ensuring they can thrive in a digital-first world.”
— Mike Batters, Technical Director, Net Protocol
