Digital Supply Chain

Procurement Process Automation

Seismic world events have accelerated the requirement for companies to work remotely, digitize and be cloud ready. Traditional procurement and vendor management processes are not agile enough to meet the needs of their organization’s rapid digital transformation – which has been compressed from years into months.

SoftwareONE’s Digital Supply Chain (DSC) service (DSCSimple) is an enterprise-grade offering that increases transaction speeds, cost benefits and transparency through digitization and process efficiencies, ultimately leading to the elimination of wasteful investments and a better user experience across the organization.

Common Challenges in Managing Software Spend

Knowledge & Resources

Maintaining in-house expertise across the entire software and cloud portfolio & maximizing contract value consistently is a challenge

Data Transparency

Having trustworthy entitlement and contract data in a single platform that allows for more informed and data-driven decision making is a major hurdle

Contract Management & Optimization

The limited ability to forecast and budget due to ineffective tools makes it harder to negotiate or consolidate contracts

Tail-End Transactional Costs

The tail-end vendors account for up to 90% of transactions and significant associated administrative costs

Shadow IT Spend

Without sufficient use of catalogs, organizations can’t control unsanctioned software spend and may be exposed to adverse use terms and pricing

Why DSCSimple?

IT procurement functions need to evolve into connected, efficient and digitized operations to address business demands more rapidly and effectively. A software digital supply chain is created through a seamless, integrated set of systems and activities across the software lifecycle to support these goals and this is the focus of SoftwareONE’s DSCSimple.

DSCSimple is our core managed service that revolutionizes and modernizes the traditional reseller offering, providing organizations with the right mix of tools, automated workflows and experts to realize the benefits of an effective software supply chain.
