Business and IT teams
Get help with a new-starter device, an office refresh or equipment for a project. Share the specification you have, or explain the work the technology needs to support.
Practical procurement, with a consistent point of contact
Systems Assurance is part of the CloudCoCo Group. Its Sheffield-based team supports UK organisations with technology sourcing and account management, from individual purchases to repeat orders and wider device requirements.
Start with the people, products or project you need to equip. Your account team can check suitable options, availability and alternatives, and help coordinate the purchase. The aim is to keep product decisions, ordering and delivery connected.
Who we help
Support for the way your organisation buys
Procurement and multi-site teams
Bring repeat orders, approved products and buying controls into a more consistent process. Discuss volumes, sites, nominated buyers and the account support your team needs.
What we do
Four routes, shaped around your requirement
IT procurement
Advice, sourcing and quotes for business hardware, software and workplace technology.
WebStore
A managed online purchasing route for approved users and regular orders.
Device as a Service
A cost-per-device arrangement with the equipment and selected services agreed for your organisation.
Device lifecycle
Connect sourcing, preparation, deployment, support, refresh and end-of-life planning.
IT procurement
Choose the products that fit the job
Source laptops, desktops, monitors, accessories, networking, storage and software through the account team. Discuss compatibility, licensing, budget and delivery requirements before placing an order.
For a larger project or an item outside a standard catalogue, send the specification and quantities. The team can compare supplier options and discuss suitable alternatives when availability or requirements change.
WebStore
Make repeat purchasing easier to manage
The Systems Assurance WebStore gives approved business buyers an online route to agreed products and repeat orders, with account support available for advice and exceptions.
Access follows a review and setup for your organisation. The team confirms the buying route and nominated users before access is provided. If you need a quote or product advice first, account-managed procurement is available alongside the store.
Device as a Service
Plan device costs and refreshes together
Device as a Service provides an agreed cost-per-device model for workplace equipment. It can combine devices with selected configuration, deployment, support and refresh services.
The equipment, term, service scope and end-of-life arrangements depend on your needs and the agreement. Start with users, locations and support requirements so the team can put forward a suitable plan.
Device lifecycle
Keep control from first order to retirement
Bring device sourcing, configuration, deployment, tracking, maintenance and refresh into an agreed process. This helps teams keep user requirements and equipment decisions connected as the estate changes.
End-of-life options can include recovery, secure data handling, reuse, resale or recycling. The available route depends on ownership, condition and the selected service. Scope and responsibilities are confirmed for your organisation.
From your first enquiry to the next order
You do not need a finished specification to begin. A short outline helps the team identify the most useful next step.
1. Explain the requirement
Describe what you are buying or replacing, approximate quantities, locations and timing.
2. Review the options
Discuss products, alternatives and whether a quote, WebStore or device solution fits.
3. Agree the detail
Confirm the quote, availability, delivery and any services or responsibilities before proceeding.
4. Keep account support involved
Your account contact remains the route for order questions, changes and future requirements.
Connected to wider CloudCoCo expertise
A purchase can be part of a wider change. If you also need workplace, cloud, connectivity, cyber security or managed support, explore CloudCoCo services and discuss how the work should fit together.
For direct online shopping for home or business, MoreCoCo provides the group’s retail and business store routes. Systems Assurance remains the account-managed route described here.
