Team collaboratively discusses new technology solutions

Maximize value in every phase.

Implementing technology solutions for small business can be complex and often requires expertise and skills you may not have in-house. Your resources are critical, and your IT team may turn to short-term, outdated or manual processes that create operational inefficiencies.

Streamlined lifecycle management simplifies the process from delivery through disposal — while reducing costs and time to market. Our holistic approach to managing hardware and software assets gives you end-to-end visibility from a single source.

Software solutions that simply make sense

Smaller businesses often overlook the benefits of strategic sourcing for software licenses. We’ll help you move beyond simply trying to get the best deal — and into a multilevel approach that aligns spend, simplicity, security and compliance to maximize value.

Purchasing programs

Increase your buying and negotiation power by leveraging our relationships with the world’s top software publishers. We’ll help you bundle your licenses so you can take advantage of volume discounts, even as a small to medium business.

Self-service shopping

Shop for licenses in your insight.com account or buy applications on our Cloud Management Platform. Online purchasing offers more than convenience. Self-service acquisition gives you the freedom to procure how you want, when you want.

Expert guidance

Our certified team of software experts will ensure your software contracts cover all of your major requirements — without overpaying for features and license levels over time. Consulting services are available at every level.

License management

Get visibility into areas you’re overpaying or underlicensed with tools and reports that monitor the lifecycle of your software entitlements. Our Enterprise License Dashboard gives you a snapshot of current and expiring contracts with notifications.
