Buying hardware for your team used to be a click-and-ship thing.
Now, you must find reliable suppliers, approve the budget, and ensure that every device arrives ready to use.
If any step goes wrong, you're left dealing with delays, revenue leaks, and unmanaged devices.
We’ve picked five platforms that ease the complexities of IT procurement and deployment. Let’s get to know them.
TL;DR:
- In this article, we'll take a look at our top choices for procurement and deployment MSP platforms: Workwize, Orderhive, Oracle Procurement Cloud, SAP Ariba, Jaggaer, and GroWrk.
- Such services enable you to manage IT procurement and deployment with ease, ensuring that the right equipment is always available for employees.
- Select the right tool for fewer delays, clearer budgets, and less shadow IT to manage.
What’s the Deal with Procurement and Deployment?
When you buy technology, you’re channeling 50 to 80% of your company’s total cost base through a process that must deliver the right hardware into users’ or employees’ hands on time and in full compliance.
For IT teams, that funnel extends all the way to “day-one” device readiness and ongoing patch cycles, so procurement and deployment are two sides of the same value chain, which involves
- Identifying, vetting, and negotiating with vendors.
- Raising requisitions, matching invoices, and paying on time.
- Configuring devices, enrolling them in MDM, and shipping them to end-users.
- Tracking assets, renewing licences, recycling or remarketing hardware.
Mirroring the importance of procurement, the CPO of an industrial company says in a Gartner report:
“The CPO is not only the chief procurement officer anymore, but the chief partnership officer as well—partnerships externally with suppliers and internally with other functions and business units—with procurement being a knowledge broker, creating value from the collaboration between inside and outside of the company.”
That means you need to tighten the handoff between procurement and deployment, speed up onboarding, and give your finance team real-time control over every dollar you spend.
Now, let’s look at the tools that enable all that:
