Strategic Sourcing Guide to Legal Management Software Procurement

Overview

End User Software and Hardware market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Legal Management Software procurement and the cost they have to incur. 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.

The ecosystem of Legal Management Software is part of an industry which is developing a host of new transformative technologies. Billions of dollars are being invested into this industry, and companies are in cutthroat competition to discover the next game changing technology, hardware, software, and services.

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.

Legal Management 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 Legal Management Software. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, 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.

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.
