Strategic Sourcing Guide to eDiscovery Software Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall End User Software and Hardware as well as eDiscovery Software procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. 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 eDiscovery Software, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

The cut-throat competition in the category is compelling suppliers to go aggressive on their pricing structure and increase their spend on sales and marketing activities. As a result, most suppliers are feeling a pressure on their margins and trying to offer higher margin value added services to have a better control on their profitability.

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

eDiscovery Software Procurement Best Practices

It has become imperative for category managers to remain as agile as possible in terms of their procurement practices. However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like eDiscovery Software. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of subcontracting services that are not a part of preferred suppliers' portfolios. Subcontractors should be bound by the same terms and conditions as the main contractor to ensure consistency in quality and manage any adverse event such as data breach.

Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities using analytics to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate supply base easily as well as segment service providers depending on requirements and spend on each service provider.

Investing in benchmarking studies not only helps category managers to improve their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates but also in negotiating with suppliers. In fact, this holds true for all technology procurement sub-categories.

Risks in eDiscovery Software procurement

eDiscovery Software procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for eDiscovery Software procurement. Some examples include:


  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on eDiscovery Software
  • Privacy regulations regarding the information gathered, used, and exchanged by service providers vary across regions. This increases the risk of non-compliance, which can lead to the payment of hefty fines and penalties
  • Consistent evolution in the technological landscape of IT support services is increasing the risk of technology used by service providers becoming obsolete, which can prevent buyers from engaging with them
