ERP Contract Negotiation Services

Understanding ERP Contracts With Our ERP Software Contract Negotiation Services

It’s difficult to compare ERP software contracts. We help you understand the cost variables and negotiate favorable terms.

Developing a Negotiation Strategy

Before negotiations begin, our expert ERP contract negotiation consultants seek to understand your goals and priorities. Which contract terms are most important to you? We’ll ensure these are included in the final software contract. Some terms we help negotiate are:

 

  • Implementation Services
  • Annual Maintenance Costs
  • Statement of Work Terms

Success Stories from our ERP Software Contract Negotiation Services

  • We recently negotiated more than $15 million in savings on licensing costs alone for a large, multi-national client.
  • We negotiated cost savings for a client that could not afford their top-choice vendor and was about to settle for their second choice.
  • Typically, our clients achieve cost savings that are 10x the cost of our negotiation services.

Vendor Negotiation Workbook

Our ERP contract negotiation consultants will provide a negotiation workbook showing apples-to-apples comparisons of your top vendors. The workbook allows “what if” scenarios and helps you understand contracts based on your unique requirements.

We’re On Your Side

There are typically three to four rounds of negotiation, and the process can last between three weeks and several months, depending on the size and complexity of the contract being negotiated.

The Real Total Cost of Ownership

We provide a long-term total cost of ownership analysis that considers the following factors:

  • Payback period
  • Benefits realization timeframe
  • Deployment model
  • Licensing structure
  • Implementation approach
  • Software costs vs. service costs
  • Software configuration
  • Resource rates

The long-term cost savings of realistic expectations can be just as significant as the direct cost savings you negotiate.
