Why procure through IFS

One contact from selection to operations

If you just buy hardware, you get boxes. If you procure through us, you get a solution: selected to match your needs, purchased on fair terms, professionally integrated — and not left alone afterwards when vendor support or renewals come up.

What we deliver

The four building blocks of our offering

Selection & procurement of hardware and software

We translate your needs into a concrete bill of materials, obtain quotes from several vendors and distributors and compare honestly — even when the best solution is not the one we would most like to sell.

  • Needs analysis and sizing
  • Quotes from several vendors compared
  • Procurement including delivery coordination
  • Fair, transparent terms

Integration into existing IT environments

New systems have to fit in, not disrupt: we configure, migrate data, test against your existing landscape and only hand over once everything demonstrably works.

  • Installation and configuration on-site or remote
  • Data migration from legacy systems
  • Integration testing against the existing environment
  • Acceptance and documentation

License & lifecycle management

Licenses, maintenance contracts and hardware lifecycles quickly become opaque — and expensive when renewals are missed or systems run too long. We keep both in view for you.

  • Overview of licenses and maintenance contracts
  • Timely renewals instead of last-minute panic
  • Planned refresh cycles for hardware
  • Cost optimization of the installed base

Vendor support

When something breaks you do not want a hotline marathon: we open and coordinate vendor cases for you, escalate where needed — and you always have one contact who knows the case.

  • Opening and coordinating vendor cases
  • Escalation via our partner channels
  • One contact instead of a hotline odyssey
  • Management of your support contracts

Frequent questions

Sales & integration — in short

Are you tied to specific vendors?

We maintain partnerships with leading vendors — we are tied to none. The selection follows your requirements.

Can we just procure, without an integration project?

Yes. If you know exactly what you need, we simply deliver on good terms.

What about warranty and support after the purchase?

We register maintenance contracts, monitor terms and coordinate vendor support in case of faults.
