<prompt> Human: All,I am an IT professional working frequently at a client site, having issues with both my client and my employer, to get the software I need to make my life easier lets say Microsoft Project and Visio as a starter. A few people in my team do not have that limitation, because as subcontractors, or because theyre running their own company on the side, they already have paid for said licenses for in this case Office 365.For now, I do like the company I work for, and the client is massive, so that out of direct experience with them, I cannot expect them to move fast on much of anything.Could someone enlighten me on what strategies might be available to me to pay for those expenses, that my employer does not?  <response>: This is confusing. Basically, you need software your employer wont buy? Seems like you shouldnt really need it.Otherwise, your only option seems to be to pay for it yourself.
