Switching IoT distributors is hard. New paperwork, involvement from multiple teams, and new points of contact. We know the challenges, and we still know switching to Kontron for your Windows IoT licenses is worth it. Here’s what gets tricky when changing distributors, and how Kontron makes it worth the activation energy.
Technical Support:
When changing licensing distributors, procurement teams have to work with new technical support teams. This change can be a challenge, especially if the team is not familiar with the intricacies of IoT-based products. Kontron’s licensing experts have worked on thousands of IoT devices, and provide guidance and support in every step of the licensing journey.
Pricing:
Procurement pros always have the bottom line in mind. From bulk discounts to loyalty deals, we know it’s tempting to stick with your current distributor and skip spending the resources on a new search. Kontron offers competitive software-only pricing, so you’re able to use existing hardware and still get the most competitive price with additional savings for large volume orders.
Learning Curve:
Working with a new distributor includes a learning curve to adapt to new processes, procedures, and policies. The team may need to learn new terminology, contract terms, and other details related to working with a new distributor to ensure they get the most out of the partnership. At Kontron, our licensing pros are there to walk you through all the steps of the process, and support doesn’t stop when your licenses ship.
Though switching distributors can present challenges for procurement teams, Kontron’s technical support, pricing, and experience make it worth it. Talk to a licensing professional today and learn how Kontron’s licensing guidance and support saves your team time and money.
