Capture Overlooked Chances with an Opportunity Assessment
Using our commercial benchmarking data,
We can perform an Opportunity Assessment to identify and implement a step-change in IT procurement performance and value delivery. With this systematic evaluation, we take a closer look at several areas of your procurement operations including your current technology, processes and potential areas for improvement. Think of it as a diagnostic process that helps identify where and how technology can create more opportunities and value for your business.

How It Works: Our Opportunity Assessment Process
An opportunity assessment uncovers what you are spending your money on and where.
By utilising a range of detailed analysis across a range of metrics, we can generate an in-depth report on how to improve your current performance and implement a pragmatic roadmap to achieve your savings targets.
1. Initial Data Gathering:
By reviewing historical IT-related spend data across all departments, collecting current supplier contracts and agreements and reviewing your current procurement policies and procedures, we can begin to build a picture of what your current procurement operations look like and what areas could be improved.
2. Benchmarking Analysis:
We will then compare the collected data with industry standards, assess supplier performance against best practice and compare procurement processes with leading organisations to see how big the gap between your business and leading competitors is and plan how we can shrink it.
3. Extensive Spend Analysis:
Taking a closer look at spending across the company, our team works to categorise all spending to identify spending patterns and trends, high areas of one-off spending and map this against your business.
4. Supplier Performance Evaluation:
From reliability to quality, consistency and compliance, each of these areas are assessed to ensure these vendors are appropriate for your business’s goals and comply with contact terms.
5. Opportunity Identification:
By spotting opportunities such as potential supplier consolidation, inefficient areas and service improvement possibilities, we can offer helpful suggestions on what to do next to improve the operations of your business.
6. Value Impact Assessment:
With a potential cost savings assessment, an estimate can be made on the budget needed for resources, time for implementation, and the potential risk factors that may come.
7. Recommendation Development:
From all of our calculations, a prioritised list of opportunities can be created alongside action plans, savings targets and implementation requirements to achieve these goals.
8. Roadmap Creation:
With the opportunity assessment complete, a step-by-step roadmap can be created with key milestones and deadlines in place to ensure previously missed opportunities can now be taken advantage of and any underperforming areas can be reinforced.

Why Opportunity Assessments Make a Difference
An opportunity assessment can make all the difference in ensuring you achieve your business goals.
By refining your procurement strategy, saving money and streamlining your operations, you could accelerate the journey to meeting your goals by finding missed opportunities in technology and using them to your advantage. Plus, with a mix of ‘quick win’ and longer-term projects, you can maximise your full potential in the way you envisioned
Strategic Clarity:
With an opportunity assessment, you can better align technology procurement with your business goals, identify priorities for improvement and make more informed decisions when it comes to advancing your business in the right direction.
Financial Benefits:
By identifying where your money is being spent, you can enable better budget allocation and highlight any areas where money could be saved. With the right technology, you could also reduce your operational costs.
Operational Improvements:
A more streamlined process allows you to reduce inefficiencies and enhance productivity throughout your business. This can also have a positive domino effect on other areas of your business such as employee satisfaction and modernisation.
Risk Management:
When it comes to technology, security becomes a bigger risk. That’s why opportunity assessments can help identify security vulnerabilities and gaps in compliance to make for better disaster recovery planning.
Competitive Advantage:
Implementing the latest technology is one thing but ensuring you have the most appropriate technology for your business can maintain your competitive advantage. An opportunity assessment can ensure modernisation opportunities are identified placing you in a better market position.
Organisational Benefits:
Taking action on newly identified opportunities allows for better employee satisfaction through improved tools, enhanced collaboration opportunities and reduced technical frustrations creating an enhanced workplace for all stakeholders.
