It is true that Cloud has allowed organizations to achieve economies of scale and have enabled access of information from virtually anywhere. However, the shift to virtual and Cloud hosting models has changed the game when it comes to software licensing and many IT organizations are still playing under old rules that no longer apply. Cloud introduces a new set of software delivery and licensing models that can make license management a challenge for the unprepared CIOs who struggle to balance cost and efficiency.

Headquartered in Germany, COMPAREX with its Indian headquarters in New Delhi leverages its knowledge about Software and Cloud Licensing attributes of OEMs to offer individually tailored approaches to optimize cost regarding the framework agreements of standard software and specialized softwares. One of the biggest issues that organizations who deploy Cloud face is the alacrity with which they get ROI. COMPAREX guides these companies to keep an eye on their Cloud consumption and advice them on the right amount of licensing that is required to be on the safer side. Moreover, COMPAREX guides customers to shift to Cloud at an early stage by constant advising and optimizing customer benefits through Software Asset management solutions so that they may grow and scale at a much rapid pace. Besides the scaling benefits, customers are at advantage too, as they can allocate their cash flow to a whole year rather than paying for the License at one go. “The company dons the role of a counselor and guides the client to procure standard softwares from the Global sourcing function that we offer in our customer portal. This helps clients to choose from the best price available with just one click. This not only saves cost but also ensure verified transaction channels and Open Book pricing leading to transparency,” says Navin Kapur, Managing Director COMPAREX India. COMPAREX’s customer portal, COMPAREX online, which are being used globally is being launched in India. It will enable clients to directly purchase software’s easily and quickly. “As the solution uses automated and controlled processes, the procurement of software licenses is not only quicker but also more reliable and efficient,” adds Navin. The solution further enables clients to have a bird’s eye view of all the relevant information such as offers and orders, concluded contracts and license reports. As a result of constant monitoring, License management becomes a far more efficient and reliable maintenance process.

The company’s adamancy on building a transparent relationship with their clients has not only helped COMPAREX build the trust quotient with the clients but also paved way for more customers. Satisfied customers are then directly translated to repeated customers and referrals. This trust is clearly visible from the 1000+ customers COMPAREX serves within India alone. COMPAREX takes pride in the fact that Indian clients are well aware of the importance of Cloud and have a Cloud strategy already in place. However, most often, the desired results fail to be achieved even after months of deployment, and COMPAREX intends to solve this issue. The company aims to ensure through its solutions and products the clients have the advantage to reap maximum benefits from their Cloud deployment whenever, wherever.
