Summary

Constantly rising IT costs are a monumental challenge to organizations today due to a lack of readily available market pricing data and intelligence on provider licensing and use rules. You are at the mercy of vendors who say they’ve provided best pricing, but how do you know? ➤ Are your Microsoft, SAP, or Oracle license agreements optimized? ➤ Is the bundled rate you pay Verizon padded with unnecessary fees? ➤ Have you negotiated the best rates for your UPS and FedEx contracts? The truth is that the vast majority of companies, including yours, are overpaying. NPI is a Spend Management consulting firm founded in 2003 to help organizations navigate these problems. We partner with clients to help them drive measurable savings—often 7 figures—using a combination of benchmark data, vendor-specific optimization experts, and proprietary methodologies. Our consultants are seasoned experts from the vendor community. We understand commission structures, bundling techniques, and other strategies that inflate costs. Decision paralysis is time consuming and costly. In addition to spending analysis and intel, our analysts provide the needed information and advice on negotiating strategy so you can move quickly and confidently, and eliminate guesswork in IT negotiations. I’ve been a Partner at NPI for over 20 years, and I am passionate about the savings that we regularly achieve for our clients. The best analogy I’ve found likens us to the Kelly Blue Book and Cliff Notes for every deal—making our clients as expert as they can be on every purchase or renewal. On a more personal note, in addition to my daily focus of putting money back in the pockets of great companies, I’m a runner and I also enjoy high-performance driving schools. Let’s talk about how NPI can be an ally in savings for your company! jmuscarella@npifinancial.com | 404-591-7610
