Levelling up: Software Advisory Services

Every organisation is powered by software, whether in the datacentre, at the endpoint or in the cloud. The software portfolio your business uses will drive the transformation of your organisation, but with an ever-increasing number of vendors, licensing types and consumption methods, the task of choosing and procuring software becomes even more complex.

boxxe's Software Advisory Services give your organisation access to vendor-agnostic industry experts who will guide you through the software landscape, from technology recommendations to driving efficiencies.

Customer engagement is evolving

It is no longer enough to provide a transactional service. A true partner must be able to act alongside you to hold vendors to account, using deep knowledge and experience to ensure the licensing models are in your best interest and that the best commercial terms are being offered.

Using boxxe’s continuous engagement model, we ensure that we are an advisor rather than a transaction vehicle. We take the time to learn about your requirements, which enables us to deliver optimal licensing and commercial outcomes. We’ll then support you throughout the life-cycle of the agreement, and as technology is always evolving, our teams continue to work with you to develop and improve the solutions we deliver.
