Contract Negotiations
A high performance telecom contract delivers
industry-leading results across the full range of contractual
elements. With our involvement, that contract is arrived as
efficiently as possible, so you enjoy the benefits of your
efforts sooner rather than later.
The stages of winning a best-in-class contract go from
creating a requirements list, to developing and distributing
an RFP, to evaluating responses and finally into negotiation.
On Hand can be your partner in one or all of these stages.
Our proven methodology is a critical component in
delivering a best-in-class agreement.
Improve Vendor Selection
Generate a comprehensive demand set that itemizes
network elements and usage patterns to best decide on
using fewer, more, or better vendors to meet a client's
telecom strategy.
Align with Usage and Inventory
A minor oversight in detailing network and usage patterns
can result in large cost increases. We insure call category
completeness, often identifying new call types obscured by
poor billing data.
Tighten Performance SLAs
When your network goes down due to carrier failures, your
business feels the pain. SLAs must address your rights,
including termination, for true accountability at the carrier
level.
Language and Definitions
Contract language is often ambiguous. ON Hand carefully
tracks wording and definitions in contracts to ensure that
the full meaning is clear and that the implications are
evaluated.
Terms and Conditions
On Hand emphasizes the full inclusion of appropriate
protective clauses, ramp up periods, price increase controls
and more.
Minimize Encumbrances
Carriers want ALL of your telecom business and they craft
agreements to limit competition. We know the carrier's
"lock-in" tricks, and weed out subtle but restrictive
requirements.
Ensure Lowest Pricing
Your pricing must meet the most aggressive rates available,
as measured against both competitive bids and our market
expertise.
We know that most carrier negotiations are likely to yield
some savings, and companies have been benefiting from
falling telecom prices for years. But the difference between
receiving a market-wide price reduction and winning a
best-in-class pricing agreement is truly significant. If you're
not absolutely certain that your team is in a position to
generate the most successful outcome for your enterprise,
you probably are not. We can help, either by assuming the
lead or providing expert assistance
We've all heard the saying that "Timing Is Everything". While
it's a well-used phrase, it's abundantly clear that proper
timing can significantly alter your savings opportunities
when negotiating new telecom contracts.
Our answer for the question of "When to start?" negotiating
a telecom contract is "When it's to your advantage." We
define advantage as that time when you can meaningfully
improve your contracts from a price, flexibility or
performance perspective.
