IT Software Case Study ​

Client Name/Size/Sector:  
  • Company Name Confidential 
  • $15+ Billion Annual Revenue 
  • 5K+ Employees 
  • Financial Services 
 
Supplier:  
  • Salesforce
 
Engagement Type:  
  • Client engaged “The Negotiator Guru” (firm) to deliver IT Strategic Sourcing Advisory Services to a specific business unit.  
Picture
Problem:  
  • While the client had a centralized procurement department (good thing), there was very little support from the IT department. In other words, the IT department operated independently and did not trust the client’s procurement department.  
  • The client did not have a centralized spend visibility tool  
  • Note: The client had SAP as their primary ERP system but was not able to accurately identify spend across regions as a result of poor reporting from the tool.  
  • The client’s IT spend is broken between global and regional budgets depending on the application.  
 
Activities: 
  • Identified current state contracts across the globe 
  • Identified both influencing and decision-making stakeholders within IT and the Business Units that utilized similar software packages.  
  • Coordinated global business units and stakeholder meetings to discuss opportunity, gather feedback, and drive results. 
  • Utilized proprietary tools, templates, and techniques to assign global roles & responsibilities, action items, and negotiation tactics in the interest of speaking from one voice.  

Results:  
  • Client Savings: $13 Million  
  • Negotiated the agreement down from $25 Million to $12 Million for a 3-year contract. 
  • Even though the firm was retained to focus only on a specific business unit, we identified cost savings opportunities that benefited multiple business units across the organization.  ​
