Organizations rely more and more on technology and services supplied by third party IT providers. The collaboration between the end-customer and the IT vendor is formalized into a contractual relationship. We help customers maximize their investments in IT assets while minimizing the legal, financial and reputational risks they entail.

Read moreThe problem we solve
Corporations invest significant amounts of resources in IT assets and services to improve their business operations and to obtain competitive advantages. Emerging technology trends accelerate the pace at which organizations onboard, modernize and upgrade their IT landscape. As a result, contract terms and vendor relationships become more complex to manage as they are influenced by many internal and external triggers.
Not surprisingly, companies struggle in managing their IT assets, licenses, IT contracts and vendors. Not having full control over your IT and contract landscape can cause legal and reputational exposure, unbudgeted costs and reduced service levels.
This complexity compounds over time, we help you take action immediately.
Where these complexities originate from:
- Contractual terms and conditions are complex, ambiguous and pre-determined by IT suppliers
- Vendors often place their own interests first
- Technologies are typically leveraged by many stakeholder inside and outside an organization
- Existing contract structures are not built to account for emerging technologies
- Technologies embedded in business operations are difficult to replace
