Software Sourcing Support Services

IT Procurement is time-consuming and preparing for a renewal process with a strategically important vendor can take six to 12 months. Depending on your level of readiness, contract costs can vary by hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. Organisations often enter negotiations without thorough preparation, leaving the vendor in control. Supplement your team with our contracting expertise to reduce commercial risk and software costs.

SoftwareOne Sourcing Support Services put you in the contract-negotiation driving seat with data-driven assessments of your current and future needs and vendors' proposed terms. Our advisors can provide software recommendations based on entitlement and compliance terms that ensure you are not at the mercy of vendors.

Advice that saves money

“SoftwareOne provides support at every stage of the procurement process – from negotiating with vendors to recommending alternative products and providing real-time reports.”
