Negotiation & Benchmarking

Supporting you during major vendor negotiations

If you don’t have the luxury of time and need support with your mega vendor negotiations, then we are here to help you. If you’re looking to optimize your licensing and cloud services, gaining the ‘Best in Class’ commercial and contractual terms, then we can support you throughout the process. We help bridge the technology gap between what you have now and what your future demand will be for the next 3-5 years. Our Negotiation & Benchmarking Support services will help you validate vendor offers you have received, supporting you throughout your negotiations with vendors to achieve the optimal commercial and contractual outcomes.

 

Our approach is not exclusively focused on a contract negotiation.  We start by focusing on what your actual consumption needs are to develop a lean, optimised and detailed Bill of Materials (BOM). We use this granular view of actual needs alongside a sympathetic approach to contract agility to develop a strategic negotiation plan. During this process our team of experts who are typically former vendor negotiators will share targeted Insights to ensure the final Best and Final Offer (BAFO) benchmarks well using our proprietary pricing intelligence benchmarking.

  • Do you have an impending license contract renewal?
  • Are you undertaking a significant license upgrade?
  • Are you looking to validate a vendor offer?
