“The service is fantastic; there’s no reason for me to look elsewhere.” Lee Perkins, Bureau Veritas
09.19.2024As the Northwest Europe IT Team Lead at Bureau Veritas, Lee Perkins is no stranger to the complexities of managing technology assets. However, thanks to the partnership with BNP Paribas 3 Step IT, these challenges have been significantly streamlined, offering Lee a seamless, efficient, and cost-effective solution for managing Bureau Veritas’ technology.
“Since I started using BNP Paribas 3 Step IT’s services, things have become significantly easier for me”, Lee shares. “It’s simpler, quicker, and more cost-effective than any other service we’ve used.”
One of the most significant advantages Lee highlights is the positive impact on cash flow and financial management. “Whenever we want to improve our company’s financials, the first thing we cut is capex, but leasing costs never get cut,” he explains. This flexibility ensures that Lee can maintain a steady financial outlook without the burden of asset depreciation, knowing his rental costs are fixed yearly.
The quality of their tech assets, which are regularly renewed, allows Lee to offer a positive experience to Bureau Veritas employees.
Another standout advantage for Lee is the asset management platform Asset IQ. “The portal is really easy to use for financial reporting and allows me to see the breakdown every time an invoice comes in. It works seamlessly, saving me considerable time by providing clear visibility of costs per asset per entity.”
The efficiency of the end-of-life processing of tech assets has also improved. “BNP Paribas 3 Step IT’s reminders start three months before the lease ends and keep coming every month. Previously, when we used to lease our assets through another company, no one contacted me, and the assets just stayed on lease.” Lee recalls. Now, with Asset IQ, Lee knows exactly which assets to return and has decided to leave the packing to BNP Paribas 3 Step IT, saving him around a day of work each quarter.
He continues, “Managing multiple devices across several countries, combined with the increasing focus on security and the need to keep up with new tech assets, makes a technology lifecycle management solution more essential than ever.”
Lee also appreciates the strong partnership and excellent communication with the BNP Paribas 3 Step IT team. “If I have any problems, Andy and Rachel respond quickly. The service is fantastic; there’s no reason for me to look elsewhere,” he concludes.
Lee’s experience with BNP Paribas 3 Step IT has not only saved him time and money but also enhanced the overall efficiency of his operations. As his team looks to expand contracts and integrate more entities, Lee is confident that BNP Paribas 3 Step IT will continue providing the exceptional service they rely on.
It’s simpler, quicker, and more cost-effective than any other service we’ve used.
