Your vendor says this is their best price. Our database of 500-plus real enterprise deals says otherwise. Get independent benchmarks for Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday and cloud contracts — before you negotiate.
Every enterprise software vendor maintains internal pricing analytics. They know precisely where they can flex and where they won't. Benchmarking closes that information gap — permanently.
No reseller agreements, no vendor relationships. Our benchmarks come from real deals, not vendor-supplied data or analyst surveys.
500-plus closed enterprise transactions across Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow and cloud. Actual prices, not list prices.
Deep specialisation per vendor. Oracle ULA benchmarks differ fundamentally from Microsoft EA or SAP RISE. We know each negotiation in detail.
Clients who benchmark before negotiating consistently outperform those who rely on the vendor's "best and final" offer.
Our database covers the contracts enterprises actually spend money on — from on-premise perpetual licences to cloud subscription and consumption-based models.
Your benchmark report goes line-by-line through your proposed contract terms, comparing each metric against comparable deals in our database. Here is a representative extract.
