GET FREE SAMPLEEcosystem of the global Application Integration category is intertwined with the larger parent market of End User Software and Hardware. Our category definition describes that overall End User Software and Hardware market includes all spend relating to the provision of off the shelf software, computer equipment, components, upgradation and replacement.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall End User Software and Hardware as well as Application Integration procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Global market is facing a shortage of professionals with requisite skills and training. Minimum wages and stringent regulations are compelling suppliers to increase their employee expenses which are expected to have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement cost. Stringency in the regulatory norms pertaining to data protection and cybersecurity has increased compliance and security burden on suppliers. These additional costs have a potential to drive marginal increase in prices across the key geographies. New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Application Integration, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Application Integration category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Application Integration procurement best practices. For example, It is important for category managers to track and measure the performance of suppliers against a defined set of KPIs that are agreed upon by both parties. Buyers should engage with providers that offer mobile applications and online dashboards to monitor essential performance parameters of the products and services procured. Transferring to a new supplier can be often costly and can further get exacerbated by instances of vendor lock-ins. Buyers must scrutinize the offerings of service providers for any possibilities of vendor lock-ins and demand client testimonials from service providers to assess such possibilities. Watch out for products/services that are priced excessively low, as they can often result in costly lock-ins. Developing a strong understanding of the potential vulnerabilities of service providers can help buyers limit their potential losses and also gives the bargaining power to demand services from more robust measures in the SLA.
