When we help

Three moments we step in

Scenario 01
Major renewal in 12 months
A material Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, or IBM renewal hits the calendar. The opening quote is up. You want a structured sequence, not a fire drill.
Scenario 02
Multi vendor renewal calendar
Procurement runs five or more renewals through the year. Each repeats the same fight without precedent. You want one team mapping the full calendar.
Scenario 03
Recurring negotiation cycle
Three year cycle vendors keep coming back. You want a standing program that opens each renewal early and never reacts to the publisher quote.
How we help

Four phase renewal procedure

Phase 01
Onboarding
Contract intake, baseline measurement, calendar mapping. Engagement opens 9 to 12 months before the renewal anniversary.
Phase 02
Leverage build
BATNA developed, alternatives priced, benchmark data assembled. Executive sponsorship briefed on the negotiation posture.
Phase 03
Negotiation
Negotiation sequenced across the renewal window. Script written, executive moves choreographed. Publisher cycles managed end to end.
Phase 04
Close and side letter
Side letter executed. Multi year price book locked. Deployment governance handed back to internal procurement and IT.

The renewal opened nine months early. The opening quote came in at a third of what it would have hit on the morning of anniversary. The CFO saw the savings before signature, not after.
