Software Licensing and Renewal Review

An independent read on an upcoming licensing renewal or software agreement, where the margin hides and what a fair number really is, from people who built these quotes on the vendor side.

The first renewal quote is never the real number, and the margin is rarely where you would look for it. This review gives you an independent read on an upcoming licensing renewal or software agreement, showing where the give is, where the margin hides, and what a fair number really looks like. From people who spent years building exactly these quotes on the vendor side, now on yours.

What you get

  • An honest read on your renewal or agreement and whether the number is fair
  • Where the margin hides and where the room to negotiate really is
  • The questions to ask and the levers to pull before you sign
  • An independent perspective, from people who built these quotes on the vendor side

Who it is for

IT, procurement and finance leaders facing a licensing renewal or software agreement who want to know what a fair number is before they commit.

How it works

A focused session to understand the agreement and your usage, followed by a written readout of where the value is and how to approach it. Free, and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

What is a software licensing and renewal review?

An independent read on an upcoming licensing renewal or software agreement, where the margin is hidden and what a fair number really is, from people who built these quotes on the vendor side. It gives you leverage before you sign.

Can you really tell what a fair price is?

Often, yes. Having built and negotiated these deals from the vendor side, we know how quotes are constructed, where the give is, and what a vendor will concede, which is the experience most buyers do not have.

Is the review free and independent?

Yes. It is free and no obligation, and the review itself is independent, working purely to strengthen your position in the renewal. On the buying itself we are flexible: stay fully independent and we advise only, or we can handle the purchase if you would rather, always upfront about which role we are in.
