Strategic Sourcing Guide to E-Mail Marketing Software Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall End User Software and Hardware as well as E-Mail Marketing Software procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Rise in the cost of certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver E-Mail Marketing Software is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure. This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the E-Mail Marketing Software market.

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.

Buyers are showing an inclination to onboard suppliers whose offerings span beyond E-Mail Marketing Software. The practice brings in several advantages such as rationalization of supplier base, economies of scale and reduced category management cost.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

E-Mail Marketing Software Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with E-Mail Marketing Software procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should ask for a detailed account of the data protection capabilities of the supplier. In addition, buyers should also enquire regarding the redundancies available during instances of outages or disruptions. While some providers can provide backup, others may have limited capabilities in hardware redundancy.

Needs of buyers can vary depending on the industry where buyers operate. For instance, buyers from the financial services industry give high importance to regulatory compliance and data security, whereas buyers from the e-commerce industry prioritize high throughput, low response time, and high scalability. Hence, service providers with a strong knowledge of the security, compliance, and governance needs of buyers' industries and a proven track record of performance with respect to these aspects should be prioritized.

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.
