Digital Transformation in Vendor Management: Enhancing Compliance and SLA Performance through Streamlined Processes
Digital Transformation in Vendor Management: The Importance of SLA Optimization for Contract Success
The thing that keeps any contract anchored is a three-alphabet word called the ‘SLA’ or service level agreement. This is where the client and the vendor get on the same page of what is expected from each party, at what stage, and on what terms. The inability to meet SLAs is also well described in terms of penalties, corrective actions, and alternatives. SLAs are a great way to make vendor management streamlined, result-oriented, and frictionless. Without a clear and well-managed SLA path, any contract can go awry. Without SLA optimization, a contract can easily slip down a dangerous hill of poor performance, hidden costs, and unnecessary conflicts. That’s what is happening right now at many companies.
Digital Transformation in Vendor Management: Why 99% of Organizations Struggle to Optimize Contracting Costs Despite Strategic Intentions
Do you know that 99 percent of organizations plan to reduce contracting costs over the next two years? With one in three larger organizations looking to reduce contracting costs by 30 percent or more? Also, 70 percent of organizations have a formal contracting technology strategy. But 99 percent say they do not have the data and technology to optimize their contracting process. The result- a massive gap between strategy and execution in contract management; companies cannot measure, manage, and control adherence to their policies.
Additionally, there are struggles over how to put technology in place. For example, 47 percent of companies say implementation is a significant challenge, and 34 percent find it hard to recruit people with the skills to identify and implement the technology they need.
