Licence management in Software Procurement
Complete and efficient licence management
PQR offers various solutions to support organisations in managing and procuring all licences. For example, we help identify the current licensing position, then advise on the most appropriate form of contract. We supply and register your licences, both traditional and public cloud licences.
In most IT environments, we see a foundational infrastructure layer (increasingly based on software and/or cloud) consisting of 5-10 components. Vendors such as Microsoft, VMware, Citrix Liquit, etc., are complemented by security and data recovery solutions. These software solutions are closely interconnected, and in most cases, the IT department serves as the central point of contact for these.
On top of this run the business solutions such as ERP, CRM, Service Management, etc. In most cases, business units or departments are responsible for these, including functional management. Centralised licence management for all this software is a crucial process for both cost control and compliance. We always take a holistic view, as well as the interconnection between them.
Legal software use
From Healthcheck to Software Asset Management as a Service, PQR offers a solution for every need.
Software procurement services
Organisations quickly use software from ten or more vendors, and we often hear from our clients that this leads to frustration and errors. PQR is the ‘one stop shop’ and single point of contact for the procurement and delivery of all licences. For our key software vendors, we offer a full licence management service. Additionally, as part of the Bechtle Group, we provide procurement services for all vendors, except those that do not support indirect sales. In such cases, we are still happy to critically assist with your negotiations and contract management.
