Four engagement models, every one transparent. We never bill by the hour, never accept commissions from software vendors, and never tie our fee to the size of the contract you sign. Our job is to help you spend less, not more.
A single negotiation, renewal, or audit defence handled end-to-end on a fixed scope and fixed fee. Most common engagement model.
A modest base fee covers cost of work; the upside is an agreed share of verified, documented savings versus a baseline both sides accept up front.
Always-on access to a dedicated vendor specialist plus the wider 15-vendor team. Used by larger enterprises with continuous renewal pipelines.
Quick-turn engagements: paper-the-deal reviews, clause language, benchmark requests, second opinions on a vendor proposal already on the table.
| Situation | Best model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single Oracle ULA exit or ELA renewal | Success-based | Quantified baseline, savings sit in the millions |
| Microsoft EA renewal in next 12 weeks | Fixed-fee project | Defined scope, clear deliverable, fast turnaround |
| 50+ vendors, continuous renewal pipeline | Retained advisory | Always-on access at a predictable monthly cost |
| Vendor proposal arrived yesterday | On-demand | Fast second opinion before you sign |
| SAP audit notification received | Fixed-fee project | Defined audit window, defined deliverable |
| M&A licence transfer due diligence | Fixed-fee project | Time-boxed work, defined deal close date |
We do not resell software, do not take referral fees, and do not partner with any vendor. The only money that moves between us and a vendor is the cheque you hand them after we negotiate.
Every engagement is scoped and priced before work begins. You will never receive a surprise invoice for hours, expenses, or research time.
If the deal is already good, we say so. If you do not need an advisor, we say that too. A short honest conversation is worth more than a long unnecessary engagement.
Tell us which vendor, contract, or audit you are facing. We respond within one business day with a scope, fee, and timeline.
