Struggling to make sense of software licensing and optimize your multivendor procurement programs? SHI’s software licensing experts are here to help.
With over 255 applications in your tech stack, it’s no wonder that software licensing can be a major headache for IT and procurement leaders like you.
Luckily, with 35 years of helping organizations like yours manage, renew, and optimize their software contracts, SHI has the industry know-how and resources to take the strain off your shoulders and let you focus elsewhere.
It’s just one of the ways we put the value in software value added reseller (VAR).
What is a software value added reseller?
A software value added reseller (VAR) is a technology solution provider that helps you select, deploy, and manage hardware and software solutions.
Unlike an online marketplace, where you have to do all the work yourself, a good software VAR can act as your advisor, broker, and support partner, all-in-one. With experience of the ins and outs of complex software licensing for hundreds of vendors, a software VAR like SHI helps you make better software procurement decisions, get a great deal, and then help ensure you realize the full return on your investment.
What should I expect from a software VAR?
Partnership. Solid advice. Reduced friction.
Decades of technical expertise, beneficial service offerings, award-winning vendor relationships, a well-worn map to navigate complex licensing programs, sandboxes, and on-demand virtual labs to test how new tech will interact with your existing environment — working with a software VAR like SHI brings business advantages that you can’t buy off the shelf.
A great software VAR partner is one that offers you all the services you need to optimize your software selection, procurement, deployment, and ongoing management.
Software procurement tailored to your needs
Our licensing experts invest time upfront to understand your unique needs, using our knowledge of multiple vendors’ licensing models to present you with optimized licensing and subscription options.
ITAM and SAM on tap
Licensing doesn’t just end with procurement. Our in-house ITAM and SAM teams help you continually optimize your software licensing, ensuring you only pay for what you use, and you utilize your full entitlement.
Always-on software advisory
Yes, we’re a partner to the software vendors. But our priority at SHI has always been the customer, you. That’s why we pride ourselves on offering unbiased, data-driven advice that can yield major financial savings and cost avoidance.
Integrated renewals management
The days of perpetual licensing are long gone, so we understand the importance of staying on top of your annual and recurring software subscriptions. Our renewals experts make sure you neither miss a deadline nor the opportunity to switch to a more beneficial licensing scheme.
Simply put, you want a software value added reseller that will help you use technology as a tool to achieve value-added results in a competitive market.
What types of technology does SHI resell?
You probably came to this page because we resell software. And we do. For all the major software and hardware vendors.
But we help organizations select, deploy, and manage all types of technology solutions, from configuring and deploying servers, storage, and power and cooling in the data center, to delivering end-user and edge computing solutions.
Our AI & Cyber Labs in New Jersey empower customers to safely imagine, experiment, and adopt both AI platforms and cybersecurity solutions before they have to make an infrastructure or software purchasing decision.
And through it all, we provide expert guidance, seamless implementation, and ongoing support for your team, every time. That’s why over 17,000 customers trust us to help them solve what’s next.
