The team at NET(net) are great to work with. They are always looking out what's best for their client and it feels like they are part of our team, not a vendor.

Kraton

The engagement with NET(net) as our representative in Workday negotiations was very valuable. Their familiarity with the industry pricing, practice, and their acumen in negotiation resulted in much needed savings. Their professionalism and transparency is why we have the ultimate win/win/win outcome in this critical multi-year contract. Thank you Net(net) Team! You guys are first class!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Was impressed with the teams knowledge. The renewal process was tricky for a variety of reasons but we ended up with a very positive outcome.

Thomson Reuters

At G6 Hospitality, we work diligently to maintain a strong compliance position, which is why we tapped the team at NET(net) to execute their Audit Armor process. Upon identifying some potential concerns, NET(net) implemented their detailed process and helped guide my team to address and remediate those concerns proactively. As a result, when we were formally audited, we were in a much better position. What could have been a problem, was identified and remediated by teaming with NET(net).

G6 Hospitality

Excellent results. We had doubts about the cost savings methodology at first, but Net(net) quickly established their worth, not only from a negotiations standpoint, but also by analyzing our current spend with that supplier and making recommendations to reduce our costs outside of the licensing dispute. They were a great partner and their subject matter expert (with the supplier in question) was not only knowledgeable about the supplier and their tactics, but was an extremely effective negotiator as well. Very well done!

CIOX Health

Engaging with NET(net) proved to be not only an educational experience but a worthwhile one as well. The team assigned to our engagement was very vendor savvy and absolutely knew which items the vendor was willing to negotiate and which were off-limits. The end result was a substantial savings for my organization which will provide benefit for many years to come.

North American Partners in Anesthesia

Every phase of our engagement with NET(net) was handled with utmost professionalism.  Throughout every phase of the process, their team communicated clear expectations on what we should expect and when we should expect it.  We were also impressed with the approach and logical sequence of activities that clearly outlined the process by which we would achieve our goals.  Given the highly effective collaboration between our teams and the outsized results achieved, we look forward to working with NET(net) again on our vendor optimizations.

Custom Ink
An engagement that provided the appropriate level of expertise to help drive value from our IT contracts, identifying opportunities we had not seen ourselves and providing the driving force and resources to execute against those value creation opportunities. A real benefit in taking a different look at our cost base. Great negotiation skills.
Virgin Money

Virgin Care engaged NET(net) to review and assist us by leading the negotiations with one of our most strategic suppliers, constituting a projected five year spend of well over £7m. The NET(net) subject matter experts were able to dive in and find inconsistencies in the proposed terms, pricing and project plan that enabled us to drive considerably more business value and savings than had previously been identified. The results were impressive starting with a bottom line savings of over £1m over five years. Equally as impressive was the speed at which we were able to reach an agreed result. Additional services added around Time and Labour, Planning and Budgeting, and additional test environments added significantly to our bottom line results in the engagement. To cap off these benefits, we were also able to mitigate our long term risk with improved pricing for future units which yields additional savings over the long term. In summary we were more than pleased with not only the results, but the professionalism and expertise of the NET(net) staff who was able to dissect a complex agreement, and remake it into an effective partnership model that will drive value for us over the next several years.

Virgin Care LTD

With NET(net)'s assistance, analysis and guidance we were able to identify and evaluate an approach to our licensing needs with one of our major software suppliers that neither our supplier nor their reseller had offered. This approach allows us to deliver exactly the same set of technology, but at a 37% lower cost. At Burger King Corp., we have instilled a culture of continuous improvement that includes ways to execute on our plans more efficiently and cost effectively. Working with NET(net) has enabled us to deliver high quality technology at significantly reduced costs.

Burger King

We engaged NET(net) to assist us with a move from our ‘in house’ data center(s) to an IaaS Managed environment.  From the very start, we were impressed with the methodology and approach taken by the NET(net) Professional Services team.  After a short review, they identified a process to evaluate and select a solution based on our best financial interests and technical configurations.  With the plan in place, we worked together to execute and negotiate with multiple suppliers at once, never losing focus on our objectives.  In the end, both the planning and execution were key for us in securing a substantial savings, along with terms and conditions that will benefit us for many years to come.  We look forward to working again with NET(net) soon.

I recommend the services of NET(net) to help any organization maximize the value of its technology investments.

Capital One

We recently engaged NET(net) to advise us regarding a complicated renegotiation with one of our key strategic suppliers. The NET(net) team was able to help us analyze, assess, and validate our current environment and convert that into strategy to guide negotiations. There were several layers of complexity around getting this done such as the number of parties associated with negotiations. Working together, we were able to arrive at an agreement that ensures we are ‘right sized’ for the future. We would consider engaging NET(net) again for assistance and advice with our strategic technology partners should the need arise.

Sophos Limited

We were very pleased with the results obtained from NET(net). The experience, negotiating skills, knowledge of the subject and commitment to add value to the business that NET(net) brought to the project were crucial to our success. Furthermore, NET(net) helped develop creative strategies for negotiating with suppliers and significantly reduced our costs associated with purchasing software.

Companhia Sulamericana de Distribuição

When working to acquire licenses for a popular cloud-based application, we engaged NET(net) to help us ensure we were getting the best possible deal parameters for our needs. NET(net) was able to accurately predict the supplier’s behavior, objections, and concessions. After completing their process, we were able to achieve much more value from the supplier that we had initially anticipated, at a reduced cost. The ROI on NET(net)’s services was beyond my expectations. I would recommend engaging NET(net) to anyone interested in maximizing the value they receive from their IT suppliers.

LaQuinta

Our experience with NET(net) turned out to be even better than anticipated. Not only did they generate greater savings than we thought possible, and do it in significantly less time than we could have, but they also made sure the non-financial aspects (contract, SLA’s, supplier commitments, etc.) were more favorable to AMCOL. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and look forward to our next engagement.

AMCOL International

NET(net) Europe has become a key partner for us in securing strategic and economic value in our key technology investments, agreements and relationships.

JT Global

Based on NET(net)’s success in IT optimization programs for our portfolio companies, we engaged them to help us with an important internal IT project where the vendor had a niche product. With NET(net) we completed a strategic evaluation of the product. They then helped us negotiate pricing, terms and conditions resulting in a 30% reduction in subscription cost and a 50% reduction in incremental costs. The NET(net) team was terrific to work with, and we certainly plan to recommend them and work with them again.

General Atlantic

When we hired NET(net) to optimize our enterprise software investment, our roadmap indicated a need to purchase additional licenses. NET(net) helped us understand how to make more effective use of our existing licenses and enabled us to not only avoid any new purchases but also save millions on our legacy investments.

Armstrong World Industries

“Getting a deal with SAP where you believe that you’ve maximised the value of the deal is never an easy task. There’s a lot of moving parts, and you don’t always realise the implications of what you are agreeing until it’s too late (and after the deal is done). When Blackstone introduced NET(net) to me, and they took a look at our situation and came up with options in the SAP license arena where by we could generate significant value… well I was skeptical. Could they really deliver on what they said they could? Not only did we deliver enough value in the short term to justify the change we made, but we got a lot of future proofing in the deal so that there’s potential for further value to be added over the longer run. And that’s easy to forget, but with NET(net) you get everything on the table and tackle it when it’s there to be done. I would encourage anyone that’s got a big deal coming down the pipe, or who’s looking to revamp the status quo… to speak with NET(net) and get them in play. There’s nothing to lose and you just might be surprised with what there is to gain.

Ixom

Brixmor

Motel 6 was in the middle of a carve-out of an independent business from our prior European parent. In the process of setting up our separate operations, we were in negotiations with a major IT supplier with a very limited amount of time and many business and technical complexities. In particular, working the IT Supplier organization across borders and in a leveraged position was very difficult. With about one month until the new organization needed to be in place, we still did not have an acceptable financial offer from IT Supplier, and we had concerns about the configuration of the offer. The assistance of NET(net) was invaluable and they were highly responsive in a very busy period for the business. In 10 days, and as a team, we delivered a final negotiated deal with a configuration that maximized the flexibility for Motel 6 going forward, corrected several problematic issues in the agreement, achieved over $1.3M in additional savings, and configured the solution to avoid over $700K of future capital spending. It was a great partnership.

Motel 6

NET(net)’s creativeness allowed us to quickly understand the many options that were available to us, including many that the IT supplier did not offer. The information NET(net) provided gave us the confidence we needed to challenge our supplier in a way we had not been able to previously. NET(net)’s optimization methodology and negotiations techniques helped us achieve 3x more savings than we would have been able to on our own, and accomplished it in just weeks, not months. I would recommend NET(net) to anyone who is interested in getting to your IT suppliers absolute best offer

Lenta has a sustainable growth strategy to become a top three multi-format food retailer and double our selling space by 2020, all while maintaining profitable growth.  With our most recent engagement, NET(net) helped us achieve significant results that directly contributed to each of those objectives.  SAP is one of Lenta’s most strategic suppliers in facilitating business processes across the organization, so of course this was an important engagement for us.  NET(net) not only achieved cost savings that exceeded expectations, but enabled us to map the new agreement directly to our company priorities.  We now have cost predictability with incremental services, a new licensing model, M&A risk mitigation, and other terms and conditions crafted that solidifies IT’s place as a change agent and business facilitator within Lenta.  We look forward to many more successes working with NET(net).

Rick Thompson,

Before we launched our proposed HCM project, it was important to understand the market dynamics first and ascertain a full accounting of what our total cost and risk exposure would be.  NET(net)’s Benchmark report was a great first step, as they were able to show us the market high and low for our anticipated solution, along with what we should expect our final investment to be.  All of this data was provided in a comprehensive and easy to understand report which helped inform our next steps.  In this case, we opted to fully engage NET(net)’s team of experts to help us negotiate and procure the required software and a third party to assist with the implementation.  Engaging NET(net) yielded a 5x ROI for our team and the collaboration between our companies was excellent.  We are happy to engage with them on future projects and certainly recommend NET(net) for supplier optimization and negotiation services.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center was challenged with a myriad of Microsoft issues to untangle involving licensing optimization, carve-out concerns, along with new data privacy and security requirements to manage. We engaged NET(net) to assist us in sorting out options and lend guidance on a strategy to both achieve savings, and reduce the anticipated cost over the next several years.
