Ivalua’s teams and consulting partners provide the skills and expertise necessary for the successful deployment of the Spend Analysis tool, and for the best possible use of the analyses that it produces.

Ivalua experts work in close collaboration with the client to configure the data import automation, transcoding of repositories, and data cleansing algorithms.

It is important to migrate existing historical data to Ivalua Buyer, to maximize the analytical potential of the system, right from the start of production. Ivalua assists customer’s data migration with its ETL tool (extract, transform, load), to mass transfer historical data from existing sources (Excel, other information systems, ERP, etc.)

Ivalua’s teams install the interfaces necessary to perfectly integrate Ivalua Buyer into each client’s environment, using our standard connectors designed for the principal ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)/accounting systems on the market.

In addition to the application documentation and existing help screens, Ivalua and its partners offer onsite training or e-learning courses adapted to each type of user group.

If additional resources are required, Ivalua can mobilize specialized teams - to cleanse the data utilizing the Ivalua Buyer toolset. These teams can be set up at the client’s office if necessary.

Ivalua’s identified  integration partners are trained to deploy the Ivalua Buyer solution, and offer a proven expertise in each of the Purchasing categories. They offer Spending optimization projects adapted to your priorities, on the principle of ‘success fees’ based on realized savings.

The software is licensed and installed locally by the client. The client’s IT service takes charge of the administration of the application. They can subscribe to the application maintenance and user support services provided by Ivalua as they see fit.

Ivalua’s SaaS offer includes the provision of the application, the maintenance and the hosting of the software on account of the customer. This comprehensive service is offered over a contractually determined period for a monthly fee.

The On Demand offer allows the client to subscribe to the same service as in SaaS mode, but over a much shorter period, linked to a particular event: for example, an RFQ or an auction. Therefore, pricing is established on an event-by-event basis and on the frequency of tool usage in order to manage these events.
