Contract Consolidation/Merger & Acquisition Support
Company mergers and acquisitions have a great impact from a SAM perspective. Just as physical assets need to be re-evaluated and potentially negotiated whenever a company undergoes a merger or acquisition, so too should companies determine their respective software inventory and determine if they have any functionality overlaps, increased room for negotiation, etc.
However, this also means that all of the software contracts would have to be consolidated and a thorough study conducted regarding which software contracts can be merged and/or renegotiated. Furthermore, this would also be an ideal time to determine actual usage, as overbuying/renewing too many licenses during the merger/acquisition makes it much harder to correct the contracts in the future.
This process is, naturally, quite complicated as the organization(s) would have to determine what software contracts and entitlements does each organization has, what can be merged and what is terminated, What software is used and what level of application rationalization is possible, etc. At ITAM solution, our Contract Consolidation/Merger & Acquisition Service provides answers to all these questions and will also aid and advise about further action and implementation.
With this service, our professionals will come to assist you in your journey. We first develop a roadmap with a timeline and KPI goals after which, we carry out due diligence by gathering data, conducting interviews, and defining an approach concerning consolidating, rationalizing, or other which will then be executed in mutual agreement. To ensure a smooth transition, our team will work together with stakeholders, perform contractual analyses, and provide support during negotiations, thus enabling you to align the IT landscapes of the organizations and receive the best fit-for-purpose contracts, often leading to better conditions and minimizing overspend.
