For
Technology, administration, procurement and contract owners.
Objective

01

Consolidate the current position

Gather contracts, subscriptions, dates, quantities and owners. Compare them with actual usage and planned projects.

  • Current products, editions and models.
  • Expiry dates and renewal windows.
  • Assigned, available and projected users.
02

Review dependencies and changes

A renewal may affect identity, collaboration, security, infrastructure or support. Document integrations before changing edition, model or provider.

  • Compatibility with the current environment.
  • Data to migrate or retain.
  • Support and administration responsibilities.
03

Turn the quotation into a decision

Require cycle, currency, taxes, scope, renewal and assumptions so leadership can evaluate the full commitment.
