Understanding key issues

CHALLENGES

Decentralised management

Managing the sourcing and contracting of vendors in a decentralised way is inefficient and can lead to higher costs and longer timelines. 

Maintaining contracts

A need to save time can make it easy to fall into a routine of renewing contracts without going back out to market or asking the supplier for better services. 

Due diligence

Internal teams experience only what affects their organisation, which can narrow the due diligence processes for working with new vendors, running the risk of missing critical information.  

How our Vendor Management Services can help you

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Centralised Vendor Management

    Manage all vendors, new and existing, in one place, with one contact responsible for the relationships. This gives a holistic view over your supplier system, improving visibility and enabling better interactions between supplied services and technology.  

    Risk mitigation

    Risk mitigation of contracts and suppliers is enabled through increased visibility providing insight to support better understanding and planning.

    Ongoing reviews

    Contract management and optimisation reviews can become continuous. Everything is assessed in the whole IT vendor ecosystem to enable the best, ‘big picture’ decisions.

    Stakeholder engagement

    Engaging stakeholders across your organisation can be difficult when they have their own focuses and concerns. Centralising Vendor Management encourages stakeholders to come together.

  • Sourcing for success

    Much like when hiring new employees, your organisation deserves to work with suppliers of services and technologies that will increase your success, only. Achieving this is eased by working with an expert Vendor Manager such as Advanced as we lean  on our experience and expertise in the market to source and vet suppliers.

    Outcomes-based sourcing

    Knowing where you want to be enables you to select whom you need to work with to get there. A specialist Vendor Manager can support you in this, aligning resources to your strategy. 

    Organisation advocate

    Your Vendor Manager can act as an advocate for your organisation in supplier meetings, identifying successes, assessing quality and ensuring performance.
