Is your organization optimizing every dollar spent?
We not only find cost savings, but we help you build a sustainable model with spend portfolios and contracts that enable you to consistently and repeatedly challenge every spend.
Challenge Every Spend
- Strategy and sourcing decisions are always in your control.
- Our clients have experienced meaningful and material cost savings.
- Your business means a great deal to your existing and potential suppliers. We frequently see savings north of 20%.
- Price is important, but price without quality and performance hurts your business. At Black Ops Strategic Partners, we offer more than “3 bids and a buy”. We build Service Level Agreements and your business requirements into the agreements to hold your suppliers accountable.
Leverage Every Agreement
We create strategic and proactive reports, and reminders that give you the information you need to focus on profitably growing your business and avoiding risks.
Leverage Every Agreement
- Are you leveraging beneficial contract provisions?
- Are the obligations and risks in your agreements identified and visible?
- As a subsidiary of Black McCuskey, we have expertise in docketing and tracking critical milestones. For instance, we docket and manage our clients’ patent and other intellectual property filing, fees and renewal obligations globally.
- This is not a cookie-cutter model. We work collaboratively with you to customize your critical milestones.
- Assessing the full contract lifecycle provides you with tools to strategically focus on spend, sales, and corporate agreements.
Analyze
Business Risk: newly executed agreements are fresh in everyone’s minds, but people get busy and contract benefits and risks are easily forgotten
Black Ops Solution: we document potential risks, rights and obligations and create a playbook of easy reference
Capture
Business Risk: contracts are stored in various systems, databases and file cabinets, but they are not well coordinated and critical information is not easily accessible
Black Ops Solution: we create a centralized system to capture your critical contract data
Track & Docket
Business Risk: reactive contract management leads to missed revenue opportunities and contract liability
Black Ops Solution: we monitor, track, and communicate important data and milestones. This saves money and increases profits.
Draft
Business Risk: lack of simple, standard templates and approved drafting positions slows down the process and causes businesses to lose money and take inconsistent risks and liabilities
Black Ops Solution: we accelerate the contract creation process with standard templates and decision-making matrixes customized for each business
Negotiate
Business Risk: lengthy and unstructured negotiations cause frustration internally and externally, delaying benefits, the assumption of unacceptable risks, and losses of future business opportunities
Black Ops Solution: We’ll partner with you to set the strategy, structure the team, and lead the negotiations.
