Technology Acquisition

Stop overpaying for technology

Most organisations overpay for software, hardware and cloud, often by 20 to 50 percent. We are vendor side experts who help you buy on your terms, not theirs. We find and remove waste in licensing, renewals and refresh cycles, then negotiate better outcomes with your vendors.

Buying on your terms Cutting through a field of options to the right deal.

Why buyers overpay

Vendors know the real levers: pricing bands, discount thresholds, bundles, and what good looks like. Most buyers do not, and that gap is where 20 to 50 percent disappears.

We close the gap with vendor side insight, technical validation and commercial challenge, so you only pay for what you actually need.

How we do it

On your side of the table

Outsourced negotiation

Unlike most consultancies or spend platforms, we can lead negotiations on your behalf. You stay informed and in control while we do the commercial heavy lifting.

Optimisation and assessment

We find savings across licence usage versus entitlement, architecture and sizing, and renewal and refresh cycles, before a penny is spent.

No savings, no fee

For suitable engagements we work on a no savings, no fee basis. If we do not deliver savings, you do not pay.

See it in practice: the technology procurement case study where we cut a UK enterprise's procurement cycles by 45 percent and surfaced 20 to 30 percent in savings, and the VMware licensing case study where we held a Broadcom renewal uplift under 80 percent and avoided a six figure increase.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much can you save on technology procurement?

It varies by estate, but most organisations overpay by 20 to 50 percent on software, hardware and cloud. The savings come from licence usage that has drifted from entitlement, oversized infrastructure, and renewals accepted without challenge. We quantify the specific number for you before any engagement begins.

How are you different from a reseller or a spend management platform?

A reseller earns on the sale, and a software platform reports your spend back to you. We do neither. We sit on your side of the table, bring vendor side pricing knowledge, and can lead the negotiation on your behalf, which is something a reseller cannot do and a dashboard will never do for you.

What does no savings, no fee actually mean?

For suitable engagements we work on a contingent basis: if we do not deliver savings, you do not pay. We take an agreed share of what we save you, so our incentive is aligned with your outcome and you carry no risk of paying for advice that does not land.

Which vendors do you cover?

Our deepest experience spans VMware and Broadcom, Pure Storage, NetApp, VAST Data, HPE and Oracle, but the approach is vendor neutral and the method transfers to most enterprise technology agreements. The leverage comes from understanding how these deals are built, not from any single product.

Will you negotiate directly with our vendors?

Yes, if you want us to. You can hand us the negotiation entirely, or keep it in house and use us for the optimisation audit and the commercial strategy behind it. You stay informed and in control either way, and you decide how visible we are to the vendor.
