The Challenge: Our client, a powerhouse retail cooperative with a vast network of member stores, faced a formidable tech titan – a tangled mess of IT service providers for applications, infrastructure, and helpdesk support. This multi-headed beast led to inefficiencies and ever-increasing costs.?
The Efficiency Expedition: We embarked on a quest to slay this tech titan in the early days of the digital revolution through a thorough 'As-Is' portofolio assessment and tie that to their 'To-be' aspirations.
We spearheaded a comprehensive RFP process, meticulously crafting the document, managing bidder interactions, and conducting thorough due diligence. This rigorous approach ensured we selected the best-fit partners for both applications and infrastructure services.?
The Negotiation Vortex: Our mission isn't over yet. We then navigated the treacherous negotiation vortex, securing significant savings compared to their existing baseline. We actively took part in drafting and completing the Master Service Agreement (MSA) and Statement of Work (SOW), ensuring all parties were aligned.?
Victory Banner Raised: Our efforts yielded a resounding success. They achieved substantial cost reductions, streamlined operations through partner consolidation, and transitioned to a managed services model for infrastructure, further boosting efficiency.?
But the Adventure Continues! We didn't rest on our laurels. We revisited the infrastructure services contract, meticulously analyzing market trends and benchmarking pricing against competitors.
