The customer profile

A leading Swiss private bank is a leading Swiss private bank with approximately ten thousand employees, with operations across Switzerland and the broader European framework. The customer's Microsoft EA framework estate spans Microsoft 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft Azure, and the broader Microsoft EA framework framework, with material Microsoft EA framework across the customer's broader Switzerland and the broader European framework technology framework.

The customer's Microsoft EA framework anchored the broader Microsoft EA framework against the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft EA framework at the upper customer scale. The customer ran the Microsoft EA framework alongside the customer's broader operations technology framework, with material commercial sensitivity to the Microsoft EA framework against the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework.

The opening publisher quote

The publisher's opening Microsoft EA framework renewal framework quote anchored the broader Microsoft EA framework at the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft 365 E5 framework. The opening Microsoft EA renewal framework anchored the customer's Microsoft EA framework against the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft 365 E5 framework with substantial Microsoft EA framework escalation.

The opening Microsoft EA framework renewal framework included substantial Microsoft EA framework escalation across the customer's broader Microsoft EA framework. The publisher anchored the Microsoft EA framework against the broader Microsoft 365 E5 framework trajectory rather than the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework.

The Redress approach

Redress anchored the Microsoft EA framework against the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft EA framework. The framework segmented the Microsoft EA framework across the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework, the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework product framework, the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework licensing framework, and the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework renewal framework.

Redress segmented the Microsoft 365 framework across four principal Microsoft 365 populations and applied the Microsoft Azure commit framework against the customer's actual Microsoft Azure utilization framework. The framework anchored the Microsoft EA framework against the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft EA framework.

The buyer side moves

Redress applied an eleven move framework across the Microsoft EA framework negotiation framework.

  1. Anchor the Microsoft EA framework. Anchor against the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework.
  2. Segment the Microsoft EA framework. Segment across the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework product framework.
  3. Run the four principal populations. Run the Microsoft EA framework across the four principal Microsoft EA framework populations.
  4. Negotiate the Microsoft EA framework. Negotiate against the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft EA framework.
  5. Build a credible competitive posture. Build across alternative frameworks and alternative product frameworks.
  6. Run the broader audit framework. Run the audit framework against the EA position.
  7. Negotiate the Microsoft 365 E3 framework. Push back on broad E5 step ups where utilization does not justify them.
  8. Run the Microsoft EA framework utilization framework. Anchor every line against actual utilization data.
  9. Lock in price protection terms. Lock across the contracted Microsoft EA renewal cycle.
  10. Apply the continuous optimization framework. Apply through the contracted term, not just at renewal.
  11. Run the broader vendor management posture. Run across the contracted Microsoft EA framework.

The commercial outcome

The Swiss private bank closed the Microsoft EA renewal framework at material commercial saving in Swiss francs below the publisher's opening Microsoft EA renewal framework quote. The framework anchored the Microsoft EA framework against the customer's actual Microsoft EA framework utilization framework rather than the publisher's preferred broad Microsoft EA framework.

The framework also locked in price protection terms across the contracted Microsoft EA framework renewal framework, with the cumulative effect that the customer's Microsoft EA framework ran alongside the customer's broader operations technology framework. The framework delivered the cleanest commercial framework for the customer's Microsoft EA framework, with material commercial leverage at the broader Microsoft EA framework renewal cycle.
