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.

Right from the start of production, it’s important to migrate historical data to Ivalua Buyer to maximize the analytical potential of the system. Ivalua’s powerful ETL tool (extract, transform, load), expedites migration to mass transfer historical data from existing sources (Excel, ERP, etc.).

With over a dozen different ERP/accounting systems already integrated, our pre-configured connectors provide multiple points of integration for all major ERP/accounting systems in the market with the availability of customization to fit any client’s specific requirements.

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

If additional resources are required, Ivalua can mobilize specialized dedicated teams to enrich the data utilizing the Ivalua Buyer toolset. These teams can be set up on-site or remotely.

Ivalua’s integration partners are trained to deploy the Ivalua Buyer solution and offer a proven expertise in each of the purchasing categories. They offer spend 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 model includes the deployment, maintenance and the hosting of the software within a customer account through our hosting partner. This comprehensive service is offered over a contractually determined period for a monthly fee.

On Demand deployments allow the client to subscribe to the same service as in SaaS, but over a much shorter time period and linked to a particular event: for example; RFQs, RFIs, or auctions. Therefore, pricing is established on an event-by-event basis and frequency of tool usage in order to manage these events.
