Century Platform.

Gain a comprehensive overview of your software licences.

Bring order to the chaos and achieve full transparency into crucial KPIs.

IT landscapes are constantly changing making it ever-more difficult for businesses to keep an eye on their licensing situation. Durations, maintenance information and automatic extensions often aren’t managed centrally and have to be manually collected, which takes time. In order to give your stakeholders the information they need in order to make strategic decisions, action has to be taken.

Century Platform records all software purchases in a targeted manner so that you can centrally manage your entire portfolio with ease. Is free for all customers that procure their software from Bechtle Schweiz AG.

Insightful reporting.

Leverage the numerous dashboards and reports provided or customise your own views. Manage your licensing volume and plan your investments.
