Certero provide a range of professional services to help organizations optimize spend, mitigate risk and drive efficiencies.
Certero can support you by creating a personalized optimization report highlighting any risks in detail and the mitigation actions that you can take to reduce them. For any areas of over-spend, we identify where you can potentially reduce your software costs and what financial benefits you could achieve through recommended actions.
Independent and Impartial: Many SAM Service providers are also in business to re-sell software licenses, presenting a commercial conflict of interest when you need to atone for any licensing short-fall they have identified for you. Similarly, many SAM Service providers are employed by the software vendors to undertake audit or ‘baselining’ activity on their behalf.
Certero’s independence means that we have absolutely no commercial interests to sell you licenses or share information with 3rd parties – it’s just not part of our business model. So, you can have peace of mind that our license management experts have only your best interests at heart and are only incentivized to save you money wherever possible.
