Procurement & Sourcing Get the best value when you buy IT Managing the complexity of IT sourcing Buying IT is complex. Not only do you have to identify the right system to achieve your current business requirements, you also have to anticipate your future goals, and envisage how your industry may change. Technology changes frequently as well, so renewal has to be anticipated and planned for. Even once you’ve settled on a system, buying is still challenging. Sourcing managed networks, voice and data services, hardware and software all present different difficulties. Aligning contracts and selecting suppliers that are best suited to add value to your business is specialised and time-consuming. And getting it wrong can be expensive and constrain your business. Having a planned IT purchasing strategy will help provides greater predictability for your budgeting and help your IT spend work harder for your business. So a managed service provider with demonstrable strategic planning and sourcing skills is the answer.
