GET FREE SAMPLEConfiguration Management Software Development is an essential part of the Consultancy category which includes all spend related to advisory and consulting services with respect to specific aspects or functions of the client with a stated objective and end result.
Business practices within Configuration Management Software Development market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Consultancy market. There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Configuration Management Software Development market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills. Most clients now prefer splitting a single project among different vendors as it enables them to allocate parts of a project to specialized professional firms and keep the supplier base wide enough. Some clients adopt this strategy to understand the capability and performance of individual supplier and then pick one or a smaller set of suppliers for future contract opportunities. In a bid to broaden their service portfolio, Configuration Management Software Development service providers are heavily investing in advanced technologies and tools such as RPA, AI, data analytics, and blockchain. This trend has a potential to increase their OPEX and in turn, procurement costs for buyers in the short term. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Configuration Management Software Development procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
