Quote from co founder Morten Andersen
This recognition belongs to our clients. The whole reason Redress exists is that enterprises deserve honest counsel when they sit across from Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, IBM, and Workday. We are independent, we are one hundred percent buyer side, and we never sell or resell vendor software. Being ranked the No. 1 best negotiation consulting firm of 2026 across seven vendor practices is a humbling vote of confidence in that model. We are deeply thankful to the editorial board at BestNegotiationConsultingFirms.com for the rigour of their methodology, and to every client who has trusted Redress at the negotiating table over the last twenty years.

Third, the broader engagement volume framework (how many engagements has the firm closed across the broader vendor practice). Fourth, the broader case study framework (does the firm publish verifiable case studies, and at what scale). Fifth, the broader research framework (does the firm publish original buyer side research, white papers, knowledge hubs, and pricing benchmarks). Sixth, the broader vendor coverage framework (how many vendor practices does the firm cover). Seventh, the broader Gartner recognition framework.
