Cloud contracts are dynamic, both in the positive and negative sense of the word. This means design choices, growth and decline in use, data growth and many other factors continuously influence your contract value.
Often we see users at lower levels in the organization making price-influencing choices, without close cost monitoring & governance been applied. Road2Value not only understands the contracts and variables that determine pricing, but also how your solution designs, architectural choices, make vs. buy decisions and partner involvement influence your costs.
Road2Value offers multiple mini assignments in the post-project phase to achieve continued TCO benefits:
-
Review and second opinion on your existing contracts

Data insights in anticipation on cloud contract renewals
