2
📞

We Get Started

Once approved, we hit the ground running. Your first renewal event kicks off immediately with a dedicated advisory team.

Start with Step 1 — Book a Call

No commitment. No cost until you see the business case.

Renewals as Controlled Events —
Not Emergencies

A structured program to plan and run your enterprise software renewals and renegotiations as controlled events. Covers Oracle, Microsoft, Broadcom (VMware), SAP, IBM, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, plus SaaS renewals, cloud commit renewals, and optimisation.

⚠️ Why This Exists — The Vendor Advantage

Vendors win when renewals start late. Deadlines get forced. Data is unclear. Pricing is framed on the vendor’s terms. Your team is negotiating from a position of weakness before the conversation even starts.

The Renewal Events Program resets the timeline and runs a repeatable process that protects budget, reduces risk, and ensures every renewal is an opportunity to optimise — not just a deadline to meet.

Every Renewal Follows 4 Controlled Phases

The process is the same regardless of vendor — ensuring consistent, repeatable outcomes across your entire estate.

Step 1

Baseline

  • Contract & entitlement inventory
  • Usage & adoption snapshot
  • Spend baseline quantified
  • Compliance & audit risk flags
Step 2

Strategy

  • Targets & walk-away points
  • Offer structure & concession plan
  • Term redlines defined
  • Fallback positions for key clauses
Step 3

Execute

  • Vendor engagement plan
  • Offer comparison & normalised economics
  • Rate card validation
  • Price protections & uplift limits
Step 4

Close & Protect

  • Signature memo with trade-offs
  • Post-deal guardrails
  • Renewal controls for next cycle
  • Next cycle prep

Build a 12–18 Month Renewal Calendar

Before any negotiation begins, we create a renewal calendar, rank vendors by spend, complexity, and risk, and classify each renewal event so effort and cost are predictable.

Data-Driven Benchmarking in Every Event

Every renewal event includes a benchmarking pack that shows exactly where your pricing sits relative to market, quantifies the gap, and identifies the specific levers to close it.

🎯

Negotiation Strategy Pack

Targets, walk-away points, concession plan, offer structure, term redlines, and fallback positions.

⚖️

Offer Comparison Pack

Normalised economics that make vendor proposals directly comparable. Rate card validation and packaging risk checks.

📝
