Strategic Sourcing Guide to Telecom Expense Management Software Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the End User Software and Hardware market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Telecom Expense Management Software. 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.

In a bid to differentiate themselves in an overcrowded technology space, suppliers are now focusing on creating industry-specific specialized products. Buyers see this trend as an opportunity to procure more targeted solutions and are developing internal capabilities to identify and leverage innovations in the supplier base.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Telecom Expense Management Software, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

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

For example, Procurement functions should develop custom processes to gain better visibility and involve Telecom Expense Management Software suppliers early in the procurement process.

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.

Developing a strong understanding of the potential vulnerabilities of service providers can help buyers limit their potential losses and also gives the bargaining power to demand services from more robust measures in the SLA.
