Strategic Sourcing Guide to System Management Software Development Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Consultancy as well as System Management Software Development Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. The concept of virtual firms is getting popular. By placing the entire infrastructure in cloud services, and utilizing a small number of physical offices, System Management Software Development Services suppliers are trying to cut their costs and developing cost competitive propositions for buyers.

There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the System Management Software Development Services 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.

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

System Management Software Development Services 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 System Management Software Development Services. 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 ensure that they have clearly identified and listed down potential negotiation levers to maximize the value of their category spend before entering into contract-related discussions with service providers. Common negotiation levers to maximize value include deadlines, terms related to payments, (including fees, expenses, and payment timelines) and assistance required from the buyer's organization.

Buyers should invite bids from industry competitors to ensure that the offers they receive are competitive. Service providers may be willing to offer a multi-year engagement at a reduced fee, which can be beneficial for category buyers in the long-term.

Buyers must request for breakup costs for each service to gain better visibility into service providers pricing.
