IBM Managed Services Contract Renegotiation
When it's time for contract renewals, your existing Managed Services Provider (MSP) knows that switching suppliers can be costly and disruptive for your business. The closer you get to the renewal date, the harder it becomes to make a change, giving your current provider an advantage. As a result, they may raise certain charges during the renewal process.
While some price increases may be justified due to rising vendor costs, there are often other areas where the provider has already recovered their initial expenses during the original contract term, leading to inflated profits. This is where Baby Blue steps in.
Our approach is to thoroughly understand the provider’s solution and identify the elements that are highly profitable for them. By negotiating these aspects, we help offset cost increases in other areas, ensuring you get a fair and balanced renewal contract.
