Perot Systems’ Path to Savings
The Challenge:
Left high and dry when their previous MSP provider abruptly ceased operations, Perot Systems had cobbled together a tedious and inefficient manual process to eek by while they conducted a search for a new services spend management solution. They knew they needed to find a new solution quickly, but were understanably cautious about who they selected so they wouldn’t find themselves in a similar situation in the future. On top of that, Perot had a unique business model involving complex billing relationships for contract talent that not all MSP or VMS providers had the ability to accomodate.
The Solution:
IQNavigator’s long standing relationship as best in class for software & Global Managed Services gave Perot the assurance they needed that the solution and the partner were going to be around for the long haul. With a cohesive team of experienced implementation services and operations professionals, IQNavigator was able to launch the project immediately. With a solution in place, IQNavigator’s managed services team was able to quickly identify key areas of risk and compliancy issues surrounding current manual process, and identify supplier performance metrics and establish a method for tiering suppliers; realizing significant cost savings opportunities.
The Results:
- Achieved an annualized savings of over 12% through competitive bidding and rate normalization
- Facilitated expansion to include UK business during the implementation, to provide extended control and spend visibility
