How Does IT Procurement Management Work?
Managed IT procurement works by leveraging a trusted partner’s expertise and relationships to help your organization evaluate, purchase, and install hardware and software. The Vital Geek knowledge and skill allows us to manage the whole process for you, ensuring the right result for your organization. Think of it this way: You wouldn’t purchase a home or a car without doing your research first. Likewise, finding the right hardware or software tool for your business requires a lengthy evaluation process to make the best selection possible. Then, after your purchase, you’ll also need to install, maintain, and upgrade your systems, and spend time retiring your old hardware and software. This process puts heavy demand on your IT team’s time and resources. Wouldn’t you rather they spend that time focused on core business priorities? If so, managed IT procurement is the solution for you. Without relying on quality-sapping shortcuts, your team can focus on your core business functions — and still get expert guidance throughout the process of finding and installing new hardware and software tools for your business.
Why Is It Important to Manage Procurement in IT?
