Cost Reduction
Many organisations rely on re-sellers to determine a good price for products and services, however without any internal expertise to measure the effectiveness of those costs there is a conflict of interest.
We have worked with peers in the industry for over 12 years, on both the buy and sell side of IT. We can provide an impartial view of your IT costs.
Tender Management
Large scale procurement projects require a methodical approach to ensure that the most suitable products and services are procured, on the most favourable terms.
This approach not only structures the process and delivers excellent cost savings, but evidences to internal stakeholders that diligence has been applied in order to reach the outcome. A more scientific approach to procurement.
Furthermore, it is crucial during supplier bid evaluations to ensure communication in managed effectively in order to avoid compromising your negotiation position. Using an intermediary will manage this for you.
Contract Management
Let's face it - contract management is largely an administrative exercise, however if badly managed it poses a critical risk to your business.
For example - the business critical software maintenance contract that wasn't renewed last year, and you now have an issue affecting your clients (and will cost significant amounts to re-mediate). This could have been avoided by signing up to Headlogic's contract management service.
Headlogic provides this service for it's clients - using our own management tool, you can access all your contracts, be reminded about renewals, have quotations sent, or even have the orders processed on your behalf. You will also benefit from a vast knowledgebase of the products being renewed, allowing us to add value to your business by potentially reducing wasted spend.
Project Management
Large and complex IT change projects can often require high levels of procurement resource, often resulting in issues around performance.
Expectations on the technology side of the business are not always aligned to procurement capabilities, which can often lead to anxiety on the part of project delivery, and is regarded as a project risk.
Headlogic are experienced in bridging the gap between the technology workstreams and procurement services. We ensure effective communication from the outset, enabling clear definitions and requirements to be formed, and then manged this through to delivery and implementation.
The key to our service offering is ensuring a balanced, realistic and achievable solution is implemented whilst not compromising the objectives of either department.
