Reducing the cost of technology procurement within the Public Sector
It is sometimes difficult negotiating the best price for new technology when purchasing relatively low volumes. Due to the strategic contracts and key vendor status of Phoenix, we ensure that through economies of scale we leverage highly competitive prices. In addition to reducing the direct costs Phoenix also incorporates many free services to secure a long-term partnership with our customers, for example, hardware and software configuration and customer specific image creation.
Ensuring Your Technology Purchases are fit for the purpose
Phoenix provides you with a comprehensive knowledge pool and access to expert multi-vendor skills and experience. This pre-sales and technical support ensures the products supplied are suited to the purpose and are capable of integrating into your current infrastructure. To support this philosophy we have invested in providing our customers with customised configuration and system imaging services to optimise the technical performance of the product and assist in the smooth deployment of the equipment.
Supporting and creating controlled system procurement
Many IT and purchasing departments have to overcome the challenges of devolved budgets and thus standardising on specific technologies across an organisation can be difficult. Phoenix works with the IT and purchasing departments to create a standard IT procurement portfolio for the whole organisation with due consideration for specific departmental requirements. This process helps streamline all aspects of the supply and support chain within the organisation and can deliver cost savings due to elimination of ad hoc off-contract purchases and reduces support costs of the user-base.
Streamlining Your Information Technology Purchasing
Phoenix’s state of the art e-procurement solution, e-trader, has been developed to revolutionise IT procurement by simplifying the process of acquiring new equipment.
E-trader incorporates special agreed customer specific pricing for each organisation together with real-time stock availability on 86,000 IT products. This solution is revolutionising IT procurement in many organisations and provides the ability to create on-line quotations or orders in seconds in conjunction with management information related to historical purchasing data that provides a clear real-time view of purchasing activity within an organisation. Our leading solution provides for different user levels thus allowing all staff in an organisation to create a basket to forward onto an authorised purchaser for approval or amendment (or cancellation) before ordering. This process creates significant time savings for the purchaser and eliminates telephone order request calls as the system will e-mails updates to the internal customer and the purchaser confirming request or order status.
