As one of Scotland’s leading full-service law firms, Harper Macleod offers a complete range of legal services for businesses, organisations, individuals & families, across Scotland, the UK and beyond.
The Harper Macleod IT team was preparing to negotiate a new business mobile communications contract, as the current contract had been selected during COVID lock down and the needs of the business had changed since then.
The team recognised that this was an opportunity to add value to the business by building readiness for the future, so it selected Predict to provide specialist expertise in mobile communications procurement and ensure the best outcome.
By combining our extensive industry experience with our advanced analytics platform, we were able to analyse the business needs, communicate them clearly to the UK’s best business mobile suppliers, and then present the supplier offers in a clear and objective manner for Harper Macleod to pick the best deal for them.
Business requirements often change during the term of a mobile services contract and if the contract contains an inflexible tariff, then even modest changes in usage and behaviour can create overspend.
When this is compounded by a lack of transparency and objectivity it becomes a major challenge for IT teams.
Our approach brought much needed clarity and transparency to the business mobile tender process. As a result, the IT team saved time and gained confidence that the new contract would accurately meet its immediate and future needs.
The IT team was unaware of the scale of the added value they could achieve by negotiating a new contract, so it was pleased by the size of the savings it was able to realise.
IT teams are responsible for procuring and managing multiple supplier contracts. They need transparent and efficient processes to be able to meet the needs of the business as efficiently as possible.
Tendering for business mobile services can be a complex process that often leads to contracts which do not accurately meet the needs of the business and include overspend.
Predict brought much needed objectivity and clarity to the procurement process for Harper Macleod, resulting in a significant value-add, reducing the time and effort required to complete the process, and giving the team full confidence in the outcome.
If your IT team is seeking process efficiencies, then our solution can help them to save time, be confident that the contract meets the business needs, and save money to reinvest in other IT services.
