⚠️ Most Enterprise Software Deals Can Be Improved
Procurement teams are under pressure to cut costs, but enterprise software companies still hold all the cards. Their quotes look “final.” Their discounts seem “reasonable”. But our data proves otherwise.
At SCR21, we help you benchmark, challenge and renegotiate those deals. We often uncover 10%+ in additional savings, even on “Best and Final Offers.”
🚀 How We Help Procurement Teams
✓ Identify Pricing Inefficiencies
We benchmark the software proposals and contract renewals you receive from your software suppliers against real-world contract data and market norms — exposing overpriced line items and weak terms.
✓ Strengthen Your Negotiation Position
We provide the language, strategies, and intel to push back on suppliers — so you never have to settle for what’s on the table.
✓ Reduce Spend, Fast
Whether you're mid-negotiation or days from renewal, we help you secure better terms and
real savings you can defend internally.
