Services
SaaS negotiation services are buyer side engagements that reset the price and terms of your software contracts before you sign. We benchmark every line against what comparable buyers actually pay, build the leverage, and run the renewal or the new deal so procurement keeps the upper hand.
Typical savings at renewal from disciplined negotiation. Indicative range.
SaaS spend negotiated on the buyer side.
SaaS negotiations run across the major vendors.
Combined buyer side and ex vendor experience.
Eight engagements, mixed and matched to your situation. Most clients start with one renewal and expand to the whole portfolio once they see the delta.
The core engagement. We benchmark the renewal, build the leverage and run the conversations, resetting price, capping future uplifts and tightening the terms before you sign. Most renewals are won 6 or more months before the date on the contract.
First time buys and competitive evaluations. We design the process, keep vendors honest against each other and lock a strong baseline, because a clean first deal is what protects you from a punishing renewal three years out.
The 2026 repricing wave arrives as forced SKU migration, unbundling then rebundling, and credit based pricing that defeats benchmarking. We demand ROI evidence before any AI premium and carve AI features out of the automatic billing uplift. See the AI Pricing Defense Guide.
Salesforce monetizes Agentforce aggressively and prices Data Cloud on credits that are hard to forecast. We work the editions, the credit meter and the timing against the Salesforce fiscal year to reset the deal.
Microsoft sells the Copilot seat plus a separate agent governance license on top of E3 or E5. We right size who actually needs a seat and structure the Enterprise Agreement so the AI line does not quietly compound.
ServiceNow prices on fulfillers, modules and now the Now Assist meter. We audit unauthorized use exposure and module sprawl before we ever talk price, so the renewal starts from your real footprint.
Workday prices on worker types and a growing module list. We model the worker mix and challenge bundle decisions so you are not paying for modules that sit unused across the term.
A whole estate sweep for overlap, shelfware and renewals stacked too close together. We co term the portfolio, rationalize overlapping tools and sequence the renewals so each one builds leverage for the next.
A disciplined four stage rhythm, whether we run the deal outright or coach your team through it. Walk through it in detail on How It Works.
We map your stack and price every line against what comparable buyers actually pay, not list and not best and final.
Timing against the vendor quarter, credible alternatives, usage data and the clauses worth fighting for.
We run the conversations directly, or arm your team with counters and walk away lines for every round.
Lower price, cleaner terms, capped uplifts and renewal protections, documented so next year starts ahead.
Every engagement draws on the same buyer side research we publish openly. Start with the guide that matches your situation.
