Procurement Service Descriptions
ASSURE LEVEL
Inventory Services
There are many advantages to maintaining a current inventory of the information technology resources within your organization.
The advantages range from improved accounting practices and theft deterrence, through to the technical value of an accurate
inventory during system upgrades and migrations. MicroAge cost-effective Inventory Services provide full technical details
of the installed technology infrastructure. This includes system configuration information, physical location, associated
peripherals, software versions, license compliance, and a host of other information. The results can be presented in hard
copy and/or as an online database fit for search/retrieval and ongoing updates.
Asset Management
Asset tagging for tracking of capital equipment is becoming commonplace in many organizations. Augmenting an inventory
with MicroAge Asset Tagging Services can provide great benefits to your organization for the on going tracking of asset
location and function.
ADVANCE LEVEL
Procurement Services
As the rate of technology change accelerates, many organizations are finding that keeping pace entails nearly constant procurement
of products and services. MicroAge’s customized Procurement Services can ease the difficulties involved in this continuous
cycle. Service options include enabling the purchasing process via online portals, offering customized procurement services
including on-site sales support, and workflow management for the procurement process.
Leasing
For many organizations, especially those for whom system consistency, performance, and uptime are especially important,
leasing provides excellent value for IT dollars. Through MicroAge Leasing, you can cost-effectively ensure that your entire
network and its systems are up to date, under warranty, and consistent with the rapidly evolving global technology standards.
Combined with MicroAge IMAC services, management of the leasing lifecycle on your behalf can ensure long-term, trouble-free
information technology utilization.
Disposal
Effective disposal of retired technology involves a great deal more than just a journal entry in your GL and a line on your
T2. MicroAge Disposal Services involves the physical removal of equipment from offices, correct and verifiable eradication
of any confidential information contained within the equipment, and sale or donation of the equipment (EPP, sale to the
public, Computers for Schools, etc.) in order to maximize your fiscal benefit from the disposition. Through relationships
with various charities and clearing houses, and with vast experience in the disposal process, MicroAge can provide the assurance
that disposal is handled in the safest and most effective way possible.
EMPOWER LEVEL
Lifecycle Management
MicroAge can effectively handle the complete outsourcing of the lifecycle management process for your organization. MicroAge
will perform periodic reviews of the technology infrastructure to help determine when equipment needs to be displaced or
replaced along with recommendations for reallocation, procurement, and disposal. With careful forethought and planning,
existing technology within the enterprise can be optimized, and a smooth, long-term lifecycle can be planned for the future.
