How Virima IT Asset Management works
Testimonial
I don’t often use the word “team members” while referring to a vendor but the Virima team became an extension of our operations group and worked slavishly to meet our timing demands. When we onboarded Virima, we intentionally replicated many existing processes to save time in training our staff. This decision helped us save significant time and effort. Virima’s business rule engine was highly effective in that as it made it possible for us to configure the system for nearly every use case we could think of.
One of the things that we are truly happy about is the way in which the Virima team members have wholly invested in Segra’s growth since the beginning. Right from the start and through the implementation process, the Virima team ensured that they were with us every step of the way.
