Contract Negotiation Optimization

​

​Do you conduct the negotiations with both technological and business point of view?  Do you follow up and apply contracts terms?  Do you achieve contract renewals with optimal terms?

In today’s dynamic business environment, when a contract is renewed, better agreement terms can be achieved. For Example, Microsoft and Oracle offer a wide range of products that can assist in understanding vendor licenses rules.  Organizational needs can be meet at reduced costs, un-used products can be removed, purchasing of products can be optimized, maintenance fees can be reduced, etc.
