Vendor Consolidation Delivers Valuable Business Outcomes White Paper

Overview Maintaining and managing a relationship with one vendor, any vendor takes time, effort, and resources. Many enterprises, however, maintain not one but numerous IT vendor relationships, a dozen, two dozen, even more. Multiply the cost of maintaining one vendor relationship across all the vendor relationships the enterprise maintains, and the result may surprise the user. Leading analysts suggest considering vendor consolidation. "Reducing the number of vendors necessary to conduct effective IT operations, offers the benefits of simplifying and streamlining both IT infrastructure and the processes needed for IT to do business. Tight linkages with a single vendor will result in Capital expenditure (CAPEX) improvements, while Operational expenditure (OPEX) reductions will derive from simplified technology management and from streamlining the business processes associated with vendor management.
