Challenge:

Our organization required a modern, secure, and efficient network solution to support our operations, improve reliability, and streamline connectivity. Given the complexity of migrating to a managed SD-WAN solution while integrating multiple services, we needed expert guidance to:

• Define solution requirements and ensure alignment with business and technical needs
• Manage a structured competitive process to evaluate and select the right network provider
• Conduct supplier negotiations to secure the best pricing and contractual terms
• Support contract execution and vendor management while navigating legal complexities

Given the scale and technical nature of the project, we sought a partner with deep expertise in procurement, contract negotiation, and managed service agreements.

How did ProcurePro help?

ProcurePro played a critical role in ensuring the success of this project. Their structured approach included:

• Providing market research on potential solution providers. We had assumptions, but without ProcurePro’s market research, we wouldn’t have found the right provider.
• Managing the entire competitive bid process, including evaluation, ensuring we selected the best-fit network provider.
• Bridging communication between legal, procurement, and technical teams, ensuring alignment across all stakeholders.
• Driving the process forward efficiently, proactively engaging with both internal and external teams to keep the project on track.

Their ability to navigate the complexities of managed service contracts while balancing business, legal, and technical requirements was invaluable. Despite the inherent challenges of working with large providers, ProcurePro ensured we achieved the best possible agreement while minimizing delays.

What was the outcome?

The Client Network Project was successfully executed, delivering:

• A fully operational managed SD-WAN network, ensuring secure, reliable connectivity
• Improved vendor terms, optimizing costs and mitigating contract risks
• Seamless integration of network and service management, setting the foundation for future scalability
• Minimal business disruption, ensuring a smooth transition from legacy infrastructure

Fundserv’s network modernization was a major step forward in operational efficiency, ensuring greater stability, performance, and long-term vendor alignment.

Would we recommend ProcurePro?

Without hesitation. ProcurePro’s expertise in procurement, contract negotiation, and vendor management made this project a success. Their ability to work seamlessly with internal and external stakeholders, manage legal complexities, and drive the process forward was instrumental.

We highly recommend ProcurePro to any organization looking for expert procurement support in technology, managed services, and complex contract negotiations.
