Centric Software trusts SHI for virtually all their IT procurement needs.

Video Transcript: Streamlined procurement: How SHI consolidated Centric Software’s IT vendors

When I think of SHI, three words come to mind: accountability, reliability, and execution.

My name is Jason Vo. I work for Centric Software. I am the IT Manager and I'm responsible for all of procurement for the company.

When I first joined Centric Software, the first thing I wanted to do was consolidate. I looked at every single vendor that we had on board – SHI was one of them.

One thing that stood out about SHI was the broad amount of items that were able to be purchased. So, it's like, cutting out a lot of vendors, sticking with one, getting things delivered in ample time, and I was like, this is a clear choice. Let's stick with SHI, see what they can do. And year after year, they've been proven to be very well.

We tend to do a lot of procurement. We have a lot of in-house – so we don't do a lot of projects, per se, and rent and have the different types of expertise. We do it in-house, so some of the major projects that we've done are, like, OKTA, Pure Storage, moving, upgrading data centers, and stuff like that. Especially software, as well. So, we've done a lot. We're lucky to have all of these expertise in-house, so I'm very happy.

The relationship that we establish is basically what sets everything apart.

Now I can't say much about every other technology vendor, but we've been very happy with getting things expedited very well, never cutting corners, doing things in an honest way, and never jeopardizing the business in any which way. And that's the core basics of why I still do a lot of business with SHI.

The biggest value of SHI that brings to Centric Software is the relationship, number one. Number two, the ability to go above and beyond of what a simple procurement would be.

So, for example, communication is key. Transparency is key. And in this relationship, SHI is willing to have the attitude to do whatever it takes to get the job done, and that's what's highly appreciated from us.
