Vendor Management
Getting IT projects done without using outside vendors is almost always an uphill battle. The bigger the project, the more likely you are to use a vendor, but there is an art to selecting and managing them. We know because at Stonemill Consulting, we have managed hundreds of vendors and have been vendors ourselves. We know both sides. Our Vendor Management Services includes:
Managing the vendor selection process
Assessing vendor performance
Making recommendations to address vendor non-performance
Contract review
Contracting strategy
Our contract review process provides a detailed analysis of your contract(s) to identify potential risks and issues to your organization. We focus on risk, accountability and project control. This includes ensuring the contract is in alignment with the goals and objectives you have identified for the project. Our analysis will be summarized in a report outlining issues/risks and suggested improvements.
Our contracting strategy service leverages our deep experience in managing technology vendors and negotiating vendor contracts. This involves getting a very clear understanding of the business case for the organization along with other project goals and objectives. Through this understanding we will provide recommendations and a suggested structure that will effectively incentivize the vendor to achieve your goals.
Stonemill Consulting can help you with your vendor management. Give us a call.
