Analyze your organization’s current operations and future goals
Invite and facilitate the evaluation of three to four vendors that best fit your needs and budget
Interview your team, review the current contracts and cost structure
Develop and share a strategic assessment, which becomes the foundation of a request for proposal
Select vendor finalists and facilitate a detailed and rigorous validation of functionality, integration, service capabilities, financial strength and customer satisfaction for each solution, considering risks, such as fraud rate for that processor and your network
Complete a final scoring, fit assessment and detailed cost analysis
Using this proven method, we provide the analytical framework to facilitate sound decision making so you are confident in your vendor selection.
After careful assessment in partnership with your organization, we leverage our experience in negotiating over 1,500 contracts to draft an agreement with the selected vendor. We scrutinize every detail of the contract for hidden risks and potential cost escalations.
