IT Optimization & Negotiation Services

Yes, clients want best in class IT asset pricing, but there is a lot more than unit costs that need to be considered when optimizing your IT investments. Technology deals are incredibly complex and the many potential deal permutations can often result in conditions that breed sub-optimization.

Maximize Strategic and Economic IT Value
Clients often report not getting what they thought they got and feeling helpless after buying something only to find that to make it work the way they want, they have to buy more. Further, the inclusive value of what clients do own is often diminishing over time as new functionality is being separated and packaged as ‘new products’ even though considerable parts of the legacy investments are ear-marked for research and development for enhanced product functionality. NET(net) will help make sure you are getting what you need in a way that maximizes the strategic and economic value of the investments you make.

Ensure Your IT Contract is Sustainable
If done right, contracts serve as flexible instruments that provide guidance on how best to harvest value from the previous and ongoing investments and how best to manage the value of the ongoing relationship. If done wrong, however, contracts can act as a series of hard restrictions, designed to lock you in to a supplier or technology, prevent your flexibility and limit your economic freedom. NET(net) will help you negotiate terms and conditions that offer the protections and flexibility you need to ensure you have the sustainability you need in the investments you make.

Receive the Best Deal Possible
Suppliers want to sell technology at high margins and clients want to buy technology at low costs. Clients will generally benchmark their agreements, however, benchmarking is not enough. To truly get best in class pricing, you must optimize and negotiate effectively based on a holistic view of the investment as it is planned for, deployed and consumed in your unique environment. NET(net) will customize an optimization and negotiation approach and provide “at the bargaining table” assistance as required to make sure you have the best deal possible.
