Robust SAM Solution that is always a Step Ahead of the competition
There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014. There are some key things in there that make it clunkier than it should be. But overall, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Moreover, in additional features, I would like to see the reporting change. Eliminate Cognos and create a dynamic front end that allows for straight SQL queries, to get a more flexible and richer reporting module - especially for the Cloud version, FlexNet One; without having access to the SQL database for reporting, it makes it prohibitive.
