Public-power authorities like the New York Power Authority, nonprofits running enterprise-scale Microsoft estates on grant pricing, and quasi-government entities. We know the contract paper, the donation pricing, and the compliance overlays.
Public-power authorities, utilities, nonprofits, and quasi-government entities operating outside the federal contract framework but inside its compliance gravity.
Microsoft, Oracle, and ServiceNow have specific nonprofit and grant-pricing programs. Most institutions are paying commercial rates on the eligible slice.
Utilities operate inside NERC CIP and adjacent FedRAMP-style regimes that restrict cloud and SaaS choices. Vendor defaults are not compliant.
Affiliated authorities, subsidiary entities, and service organizations each negotiate separately. Coordinated leverage requires a playbook that respects each entity's legal posture.
We benchmark grant pricing and donation programs against actual usage. Reclassification typically returns mid-six figures.
Direct experience with the New York Power Authority. We know the constraints that bind public-power operators.
One playbook across the federation - respecting each entity's contract paper while delivering coordinated leverage.
"UMS has been an invaluable partner in managing our software costs - across multiple administrations, multiple agencies, and over $800M in cumulative savings."
A major QSR chain had been paying for a ServiceNow deployment for 18 months. Incident management was still handled outside the platform. Teams had abandoned the tool. UMS applied the SACK rescue methodology — Survey, Architect, Configure, Keep — and had the platform operational across thousands of locations within six months.
A regional credit union replaced Snow with ServiceNow SAM Pro, delivered 22 scoped workstreams across entitlement, SaaS, reclamation, and reporting, and reached 90%+ normalization across 4,000+ discovered software records by handoff.
UMS reconciled a regional insurance carrier's Microsoft entitlements and deployments, showed its on-prem SQL Server, Windows Server, and System Center estate could stay on perpetual rights without new renewal purchases if versions stayed flat, and created a transfer-plus-downsize plan for the Microsoft 365 subscription stack.
ServiceNow SAM Pro implementation, rescue, and optimization for teams that need normalized data, useful workflows, reclamation, and reporting that actually runs.
