Better service on white label basis

CSM brings a needed relief to the life of IT service providers, and a chance to offer the customers an even wider service selection. With CSM’s partnership model it’s easy for an IT service provider to include application lifecycle management in their service selection – white labeling it, if need be.

Our partner’s end-customer doesn’t know they are using Centero Software Manager, meaning the service provider has total freedom for branding and pricing their own service package. The price of CSM for the IT service providers is volume-based, but the service provider has full liberty to decide with what prices they sell the service for their own customers.

“Collaboration with Centero is handy and agile in every sense. It’s easy for us to bring forward both our own and our customers’ needs, and discuss possibilities for development. I think it’s great how Centero listens to our suggestions and develops the product with our needs in mind.”

Centero Software Manager is developed together with IT service providers

Behind CSM’s excellent usability is truly user-driven product development. The features of the service have been developed so that it is easy for service providers to integrate application lifecycle management into their own service offering and provide their own end-customers the best possible user experience.

We listen to the needs of our partners and their customers because we want to provide the easiest and most cost-effective solution on the market for application lifecycle management and automatic updating.

CSM is a tool for updating any applications

Automatic Updates

With CSM, an IT service provider can easily keep all applications on their customer’s workstations up to date, and manage the applications for their entire lifecycle. Automatic patch management functions keep the customer’s workstation environment’s application vulnerabilities fixed. The automatized updates save significant amounts of the IT service provider’s time, and at the same time the customers’ user experience improves.

Application Management for All Applications

No application is left unmanaged! With the application management service, you can use CSM to get basically any application’s latest versions to update automatically to workstations, just like with the supported applications. With CSM, you can easily install the Team Viewer remote control application to all your customers’ workstations, for instance.

Custom Installation Packages

Once you’ve chosen applications to the application management service, you can customize the installation packages and tailor them to meet each customer’s needs. This means the same settings will automatically be used for the specific software on each workstation of an organization. Typically, the custom content be a license code used within an organization, a specific application extension, or any setting that is within the packaging technology’s realm of possibilities.
