Managed Procurement
Integral Axon's Managed Procurement alleviates the day-to-day hassle of procurement for our customers. It allows them to spend less. Taking cost out never means the customer has to make a sacrifice – Integral Axon Managed Procurement improves service levels and reduces the total cost of technology ownership at the same time.
Integral Axon routinely cuts as much as 20% off customers’ procurement and support costs. Customers simplify their supply chain and leverage Integral Axon’s processes to improve the efficiency, speed, and quality of procurement – without limiting their choices.
For many customers, a highly valued component of Integral Axon’s Managed Procurement is software licensing. Outsourcing the management of software licensing to Integral Axon is a no-headache, proven way to ensure you never buy more licenses than you need, and that you’ll always pass license audits with flying colours.
Over or under licensing are both common problems. Businesses may also get the number of licenses right, but pay the wrong price for them. Microsoft alone has 10,000 product part numbers, so calculating which price is optimal for an individual business is highly complex. Integral Axon’s software license management tool has proven highly successful in helping New Zealand businesses to simplify planning and management of licensing compliance and expenditure. One of the key functions of Integral Axon’s software licensing management tool is to deliver accurate licensing expenditure forecasts.
Integral Axon manages customer volume licensing agreements for over 160 companies, including more than 30 public sector organisations.
