Speeding Up IT Purchasing

June 13, 2012 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Speeding Up IT Purchasing

Purchasing isn’t easy in any business. For information technology professionals, what with the endless variations of the same product and dissimilar ways to describe the products, it can be a real challenge.

Channel Insider brought this news to our attention in their article, “Time to Tear Down the IT Tower of Babel in the Channel.” Technopedia is a catalog of more than 450,000 hardware and software products that is based on a common set of IT terms. This can be a huge benefit to organizations that want to simplify the purchasing process, but also manage assets. Normalizing the taxonomy surrounding IT products and technologies substantially reduces the time until a decision is made.

Who doesn’t desire expediency? Seriously, who?
