When this becomes urgent

Most technology decisions get made against a deadline

Vendor decisions tend to arrive with a renewal date or a sales cycle attached.

A renewal lands on your desk

A multi-year contract or price rise needs signing before anyone has checked what you actually use.

A core system is reaching end of life

Your practice management, finance or line-of-business system needs replacing, and the shortlist came from vendor marketing.

Spend has crept up

Licences, subscriptions and SaaS tools have multiplied, and nobody can say what the business pays in total.

One supplier holds too much

A single provider holds critical data or systems, and its exit terms and security have never been reviewed.

What vendor analysis covers

Independent advice on what you buy

Analysis and advice for the people who sign the contracts. Day-to-day licensing and support is delivered through our managed IT services.

Requirements and shortlisting

What the business actually needs, agreed before any vendor demonstration.

Software and platform selection

Shortlisted options compared on fit, cost, security and exit terms.

Vendor security due diligence

How a supplier protects your data, checked before they hold any of it.

Contract and renewal review

Terms, pricing and lock-in reviewed before you sign or auto-renew.

Licensing and subscription optimisation

Unused and duplicated licences found and removed.

Total cost of ownership

The full cost over the life of the system, not just the first-year price.

Supplier risk and exit planning

How you would leave a supplier, and how hard it would be.

Technology stack and roadmap alignment

Every purchase checked against where the business is heading.

What you receive

A decision you can defend

How the analysis runs

1. Map what you have

Your systems, suppliers, contracts and what you spend on each.

2. Define what you need

Requirements and priorities agreed with the business, not the vendor.

3. Compare

Shortlisted options assessed on cost, fit, security and exit terms.

4. Recommend

A written recommendation, negotiation points and a transition plan.
