Vendor Management

Your Technology Vendor's Priorities Are Not Automatically Your Priorities

Technology vendors can be valuable partners, but each vendor naturally sees your business through the service it provides.

Keep internal ownership

Maintain a clear picture of what each vendor provides, what the contract includes, renewal dates, support expectations, escalation contacts, and who owns each responsibility.

Look across vendors

Your internet provider, software vendor, phone provider, and IT support company may each perform well while nobody manages how their services depend on one another.

Ask business questions

Review whether the service still fits the organization, whether features are being used, whether responsibilities are clear, and whether the contract creates unnecessary dependency.

Organize vendor information

Keep contracts, contacts, account information, renewal dates, support procedures, and service descriptions accessible before they are urgently needed.
