FAQ
What if we’ve already received Microsoft’s final offer? Is it too late to engage you?
Not at all. We frequently step in at the final stages and still uncover meaningful savings or commercial improvements. Even small adjustments at this point can yield significant financial impact.
How does your pricing work?
We operate on a gain-share model. You only pay if we deliver measurable savings. No savings? No fee. This means our incentives are fully aligned with yours.
Will this add work to our internal team?
No. We integrate seamlessly with your procurement, IT, and legal teams, and focus on reducing your workload – not adding to it. You stay in control while we handle the heavy lifting.
What kind of savings can we realistically expect?
Savings vary based on timing and complexity, but we regularly help clients reduce costs by 5–30%. Even a 1–2% improvement in a large agreement can translate into millions in savings.
How quickly can you engage?
Immediately. For last-minute reviews, we can begin assessing your offer and negotiation position within 1 business day. For longer-term planning, we build a strategic roadmap tailored to your timelines.
Can you support us even if we already have a Microsoft reseller or advisor?
Yes. We focus on the commercial strategy and negotiation – not replacing your reseller or implementation partner. We often work alongside your existing vendors.
