Purchasing the correct license from the correct program is a unique challenge faced by IT directors and procurement officers, and the consequences of getting this wrong can be substantial. Guidance in the procurement process is commonly sought from software suppliers to manage exposure to the risk of either being over licensed, under licensed or incorrectly licensed. IAM Networks provide the structure within which correct license purchases can be made, any time and without needing to wait for the manual quoting process. Whilst our expertise is still available to all clients when required, IAM Networks offers alternative procurement options.
