Vendor & Procurement Management

Forget Spreadsheets, Find Value

Lifecycle planning for information technology infrastructure, services and subscriptions takes time, research, consideration — and a little bit of clairvoyance.

Since tech vendors seem to emerge, merge and disappear at the speed of fiber optics, it is hard to assemble a three-, four- or five-year plan for IT that could be obsolete in two. Equally tough is trying to obtain tech support from a company you don’t really remember for a niche product that no one on your team understands. Throw in the fact that the cost for hardware, software and subscription services can be notoriously hard to predict, and you have a perfect headache in the making. 

Solution

To cultivate confidence in your long-range plans, and to deal with today’s challenges, you need a trusted advisor with extensive, proven experience in building secure, scalable and sound IT frameworks. You need a partner with deep roots and strong branches that can intervene with vendors on your behalf to secure the support you need to make your business blossom. You need a partner that understands business – including contracts and financing options – as well as it understands technology. 

Structured’s engineering experience across the spectrum of IT is undeniable and valuable when it comes to managing vendors — those with household names and those that are unfamiliar — and selecting technology that will stand the test of time. Our holistic understanding of the interdependencies inherent in infrastructure spanning the data center, the network edge and cloud services is essential to managing vendors, obtaining the proper support, and IT lifecycle planning.
