Supply Chain Challenges Inhibit IT Efficiency

1

Equipment configuration

On-site configuration of new hardware and software is time-consuming, preventing your IT team from focusing on adding value to your business.

2

Lifecycle Management of devices

Procuring, securing and deploying a whole host of all IT devices, desktop PCs, tablets, and laptops takes valuable resources. End-of-life issues, such as data wiping and asset disposal, also take valuable resources.

Software Portfolio Challenges

Managing software, from usage to licensing compliance, license costs and differing user demands, across a complex software portfolio is time consuming and resource draining, and can jeopardise your provision of services.

That's why our dedicated Supplier Management team and Supplier Conformance team are here to streamline this process, ensuring that we maintain strong connections with our suppliers while optimising cost-effectiveness. By proactively assessing and planning, we are able to consistently deliver the best possible outcomes for our customers.
