Optimization of procurement practices saving aspects

Buyers need to adopt an integrated approach for reducing spend on software maintenance by centralizing procurement for IT software maintenance. A centralized approach can help buyers in achieving cost savings through a reduction in the number of contracts, which reduces contract negotiation charges and effort.

Buyers should engage in multi-year contracts to ensure that they benefit from long-term costs savings and optimize spend on software maintenance, which is a crucial spend area for buyers.

Bundling of services saving aspects

Companies have expanded their geographical footprint due to the growth in globalization, resulting in various time zones for service providers to cater to. Hence, buyers should ensure that the service provider selected should offer support 24x7, especially for critical business issues. They should ensure that SLA clauses are incorporated to establish support hours for all types of software maintenance support.
