Virtual Procurement Services: The Fastest Way to Recover and Reduce Technology Spends

The TCO’s are typically written by the sales organization the customer ends up sourcing the product from, again not objective. The research organizations are dependent on other customer’s data, which is typically one to two quarters old, and absent of critical calculations.” Robins goes on to point out, “While manufactures, publisher, and VAR’s have help in maximizing their revenue and margins through companies like VARtopia, until VPS, customers had been left to their own devices.”

VPS continually invests in the ongoing development of the VVI. Raymond Augustin, VP of Service Delivery at VPS explained how the VVI is critical but so are the processes. “Understanding the fully burdened costs is really only half the battle. We are able to combine these data points from the VVI, with an understanding of the unique and quickly changing pricing programs that are deployed by each organization to achieve significant savings for our customers.”

VPS’ clients have recovered millions from their past purchases and reduced the costs on new purchases by an even greater amount. One CIO of a large retail/manufacturing shop has declared they recovered $900,000 on a $4.5 million server deal 18 months after the initial purchase. Another hospital CIO details how VPS recovered $120,000 on a network deal done 34 months after the original payment was made. A hospitality CIO customer testimonial reviewed shared that “VPS reduced the costs of a large software EA for us by over $800,000 on what was originally a $4 million proposal.”

It would appear from VPS’ secret society client base that as stated by one client, “the single most effective way to reduce technology costs is to engage with Scott and his team at VPS. It is not too good to be true.”
