Contract negotiations are time-sensitive and often they can fall apart because legal and procurement teams don’t react quickly to customers’ needs, or because they go back and forth redlining and revising MSA and SOW. Oftentimes it is a lack of reliable data that prolongs the negotiation and contract management best practices because both parties, buyers and suppliers, are not confident they are getting the best value out of this contractual relationship. Our objective is to remove the guesswork, provide you with timely and accurate contract analytics, and advise you through the contract negotiation process in order for both you and your prospect suppliers to land on a mutually beneficial contractual agreement, with confidence and without wasting time. SpendEdge has provided clients with negotiating and contract analytics advisory services for POs, SOWs, and MSAs.
