Cross-Vendor Services
Your enterprise runs Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, AWS, and a dozen more vendors. Each renewal is a separate battle — unless you have one expert team negotiating all of them simultaneously on a 25% gainshare basis.
Enterprise software estates now span 10 to 30+ vendors simultaneously. Oracle, Microsoft, SAP each use separate negotiation tactics, operate on different fiscal year calendars (Oracle: May 31, Microsoft: June 30, SAP: December 31), and coordinate audit pressure to extract maximum value. Most companies negotiate each renewal in isolation, unaware of the cross-vendor leverage sitting on the table.
Each vendor knows you're locked in. Oracle's Unlimited License Agreements lock you into expensive "growth clauses." Microsoft's True-Up cycles surprise you with six-figure bills mid-contract. SAP's USMM audit tool systematically finds compliance gaps and monetizes them. Salesforce's auto-renewal clauses bind you for years. All while your renewals happen on different dates, with different negotiators, zero coordination.
The result: enterprises pay 20–40% more than they should across the entire software estate. Worse, you never see the savings opportunity because each vendor negotiation is treated as a siloed transaction. One team handles Oracle. Another handles Microsoft. Nobody connects the dots.
We do. One firm. One unified strategy. All vendors negotiated together, on the same timeline, using cross-vendor leverage as the primary tactic.
Forensic analysis of every vendor contract simultaneously. We map renewal dates, pricing structures, audit exposure, and growth clause obligations across your entire estate in one unified view.
Oracle renewal leverage becomes Microsoft negotiating power. We use one vendor's deadline to negotiate the next. No vendor gets special treatment—all win or lose together.
All renewals timed to vendor quarter-end pressure points. We sequence negotiations to maximize urgency, compress vendor decision-making windows, and extract concessions at scale.
Pricing benchmarks across 50+ vendors, validated against 10,000+ enterprise contracts. Every negotiation is armed with hard data on what peers pay for identical services.
Multi-vendor audit response coordinated across your entire estate. We defend licenses, dispute findings, and turn audit exposure into negotiation leverage across all vendors simultaneously.
25% of total portfolio savings. Nothing if we don't save. One blended fee across all vendors. If we save $4M across Oracle, Microsoft, and SAP combined, you pay 25% of $4M total.
We negotiate all major enterprise vendors and hundreds of niche SaaS platforms. Below are our most common engagements—if your vendor isn't listed, ask.
Map every vendor contract, renewal date, spend, compliance exposure, and negotiation history. We build a complete 360° view of your software portfolio so nothing is missed.
Prioritize by savings opportunity, vendor fiscal year pressure, and audit risk. We identify which vendors move first, which provide leverage for others, and what the portfolio-wide negotiation timeline looks like.
Negotiate simultaneously or sequentially, maximizing cross-vendor pressure. Each vendor negotiation informs the next. One unified outcome: total savings, blended gainshare, one engagement.
Financial services firm with $12M annual spend across Oracle and Microsoft. Separate renewals, separate negotiators, no cross-vendor strategy. We unified their approach, coordinated timing, and used Microsoft's budget pressure to negotiate Oracle terms. Result: $8M in total savings across both vendors (combined 20% reduction), single gainshare agreement, 18-month engagement.

No unified licensing strategy, duplicated functionality, missed volume discounts. We consolidated vendors, negotiated as a unified portfolio, and decommissioned redundant tools. Result: $3M in total annual savings plus $1.2M in decommissioning credits, 60-day consolidation plan.
Read Full Case Study →We work on a 25% gainshare across your full portfolio. If we negotiate Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, and AWS in parallel, you receive one blended savings figure, pay 25% of that total. If we save nothing, you pay nothing.

If your vendor isn't listed, ask—we likely have experience with them.
Yes, and often it delivers better leverage. We sequence negotiations to maximize pressure, use one vendor's deadline to drive concessions from another, and extract a unified portfolio savings number. Simultaneous negotiation typically yields 5-15% higher total savings than sequential renewals.
We measure savings against your pre-negotiation baseline (current contract terms and pricing). All savings are independently verified by a third party. We compare what you were paying before vs. what you'll pay after, across every vendor, and report total portfolio savings. That becomes the gainshare base: you pay 25% of the total.
No. We work with copies of your contracts. You control all vendor communication and account relationships. We advise, you execute. This keeps you fully in control while giving us the data needed to build the negotiation strategy.
Typically 60–180 days depending on estate size, vendor complexity, and renewal calendar. A 5–8 vendor engagement usually completes in 90 days. Larger estates (15+ vendors) may take 4–6 months. We set realistic timelines upfront and hit them.
