Say goodbye to outdated and outclassed SAM & ITAM tools as CDW selects Certero as its preferred platform:
- Easily scales for enterprise accounts
- Unparalleled application uptime
- Full ITAM discovery & inventory

Are your customers SAM Happy?
As organizations embrace digital transformation and cloud-first strategies, Software Asset Management (SAM) has evolved to be about much more than just license compliance.
To help CDW customers optimize both their software and hardware investments, CDW has agreed a new partnership with Certero, who’s unified platform approach is revolutionizing how organizations deliver value from their SAM and ITAM programs.
But why should you sell services and licenses based on the Certero platform?

The Customer
75% of organizations are unhappy with the existing SAM toolset and feel they were oversold. Those 25% that are happy are realizing a wide range of business benefits, from reduced bill shock to improved governance and better ability to know what technology they need to invest in most. With Certero, your customers can be up and running with a world-class SAM tool in minutes, not months.
CDW
We already know that a customer with better insight into their technology consumption makes a more profitable customer for CDW. They buy with confidence and more quickly. And helping them achieve IT asset insight is a great opportunity to introduce services as well as license sales. Certero is all setup and ready to go as part of CDW’s Lifecycle Asset Management services.
You!
In addition to fantastic services and license revenue opportunities, by helping your customer save money in some areas (bill shock, license compliance, subscription optimization), you will help them direct their investments where they can make the biggest impact – putting you in pole position for fulfilling new technology and contract renewal needs.
Previous research at CDW found that customers with an active SAM program were up to 18 times more profitable for CDW sellers!
Why Certero?
CDW is determined that customers should be SAM Happy, not among the 75% of tools users stuck in the valley of despair. That’s why CDW made the change to Certero, the SAM tool with the highest customer satisfaction ratings on Gartner.
So much more than a SAM tool!
