3rd Party Support

We help organizations decide whether 3rd party support  and maintenance from providers is the right choice for software support.  True visibility of your needs is the key to understanding your next steps.

Keep or Cancel 3rd Party Support?

3rd Party Support providers suggest that annual software support payments are twice what they should be. While cutting annual fees in half is financially compelling, organizations must assess this value proposition independent of any third-party providers.

At Intelligent Bills, we empower everyone in our client's organization with unequivocal evidence that eliminates anecdotal or emotional appeals by users and vendors to continue paying for third party support.

Service Utilization

Intelligent Bills bridges the gap between support payments and operational behavior to report on how your support services are being utilized. This gap is then filled by collecting and analyzing the version, update, and patch history for the software. This is vital for databases given a provider’s frequent contention that only they can protect you from data breaches, hacks, viruses, and cyberthreats.

In addition, Intelligent Bills collects service request history to assess how often customers are accessing support services and at what severity level. We also categorize software versions by support status to expose old or aging software that will soon be expired or unsupported.
