Rebalancing Your Relationship with Software Vendors
Doug Gibson, Managing Partner, Invictus Partners
The relationship between software vendors and a client is often seen as being one-sided. The vendors get the software deal and the ongoing revenue streams, yet the value realised by the client often doesn’t match the investment. Taking back the power over your software footprint, as well as optimising ongoing costs, is on everyone’s agenda - but is often in conflict to the software vendor's strategy. Understanding the vendor's strategies and tactics is key to ensuring you achieve your desired outcomes, while remaining compliant. Software vendors are getting more assertive in driving their next generation offerings, along with enforcing their contracts, and locking in their ongoing revenue streams. Understanding your rights and options can help achieve your cost optimisation strategy and better enable your business and transformational objectives.
