About this event

CIOs are now realizing traditional approaches to software and cloud provisioning, sourcing, and management are potentially costing them millions in terms of wasted spend, providing a poor user experience, and significantly increasing business risk.

The misalignment of objectives often means that overwhelmed IT procurement teams focus their efforts on Tier One publishers, leaving 80-90% of software and cloud transactions unmanaged. This can also lead to missed opportunities to save money as well as potential financial and business risks.

A practical guide

In this on demand session hosted by Rich Gibbons (ITAM Review)SoftwareONE’s Marc Hennemann discusses how Digital Supply Chain services can help organizations by providing a seamless, integrated set of systems and activities across the request, purchase, manage and renewal phases of their software and cloud lifecycle.

He explores how this approach can lead to better decision making in software acquisition and provision, resulting in:

  • Better user experience
  • Enhanced productivity
  • Improved transparency
  • Optimization of software & cloud spend
and enabling ITAM & Procurement to better focus their initiatives and support the business.
