Full licence position review, usage analysis, entitlement mapping, and savings roadmap. We identify what you own, what you use, and where the savings are — before you engage with the vendor.
End-to-end negotiation support for renewals, new purchases, true-ups, and restructures. We prepare strategy, benchmarks, counter-proposals, and advise through close.
Expert response to vendor compliance audits. We manage all vendor communications, challenge findings, review data requests, and protect your commercial position. Led by former auditors.
Independent review of any vendor proposal before you sign. Pricing benchmarking against our 500+ deal database, term analysis, and risk identification.
We advise invisibly. Your team leads with the vendor. We provide strategy, benchmarks, counter-proposals, and real-time tactical advice. The vendor never knows we are involved.
We take the lead. We manage the vendor relationship, run negotiation meetings, present counter-proposals, and drive to close. Your team retains oversight and final approval.
Vendor sales teams negotiate thousands of deals per year with access to internal pricing tools, margin calculators, and benchmark data. Your procurement team negotiates with each vendor once every 3–5 years. The information asymmetry is structural — and it costs seven figures annually for an enterprise of scale.

| Time to value | Immediate — advisory begins from day one |
“Redress gave us the benchmarking data and negotiation strategy to push back on Oracle’s renewal. The result was transformative — $4.2M saved over 3 years on our ULA exit alone.”
“We switched to the subscription model after one engagement. Having Redress review every vendor proposal before we sign has changed how we procure software entirely.”
“IBM issued a $7M audit claim. Redress dismantled the methodology, challenged every finding, and reduced the settlement to under $600K. An extraordinary outcome.”
“We had 30 days to renewal with no leverage. Redress built a counter-strategy, benchmarked our pricing, and secured $1.8M in savings with a 0% annual uplift locked for 3 years.”
“SAP’s RISE proposal was $14M. Redress ran the TCO analysis, found over-provisioning, and negotiated it down to $9.2M with better exit terms. No other firm could have done this.”
“Broadcom tripled our VMware costs overnight. Redress built a credible alternatives strategy and negotiated a 45% reduction. They paid for themselves many times over.”
Pre-agreed fee for the full engagement scope. No hourly billing, no hidden costs, no surprises. Fee set before work begins.
Pay only when we deliver verified savings. Fee based on a percentage of documented savings against an agreed baseline. If we don’t save you money, you don’t pay.
Annual or multi-year retainer covering all vendor advisory, benchmarking, contract review, and strategic support. The most cost-effective model for multi-vendor estates.
