Get Expert Guidance During Your Microsoft, Oracle And SAP Negotiations
In the Age of the Customer, it’s vital that your hard-pressed IT budget is spent wisely and is refocused into areas of the business that can help improve client acquisition, retention and profitability. Negotiating better deals with your legacy incumbent software vendors is a great way to free up cash to spend on innovation.
If you have an upcoming contract negotiation with Microsoft, Oracle or SAP then let’s schedule a call to discuss how you can gain greater pricing and contract concessions by working with Forrester’s dedicated Software Contract Negotiation experts. With the costs of software licenses and annual maintenance going up each year and vendors providing limited transparency into licensing options, it’s critical you know which discounts to target and what negotiation tactics have worked well for other businesses.
Having worked with thousands of clients, Forrester has built up significant market intelligence on what’s achievable and how to get it. As a result, we are often able to show our clients how to negotiate additional savings on their license and on-going maintenance/support costs. And our success-based fee model means you only pay us if our advice helps you save you money.
We can help you and your negotiating team:
● Review the competitiveness of your software vendor’s proposals and renewal contracts.
● Refine your negotiation strategy and tactics so that you target the most valuable concessions, improve contractual terms and maximize savings.
● Optimize your time at the negotiating table by helping you prepare for, and react to, your software vendor’s sales tactics and objections.
