Where will you land?

 

  • Foundational Stage

     

    Fast, but Fragmented

    You’re moving quickly, reacting to renewals and requests as they come. Decisions often happen in silos, and visibility across teams is limited. Procurement enters late, Finance questions value, and IT shoulders the pressure. You’re focused on avoiding costly mistakes and now it’s time to bring structure, clarity, and defensibility to every tech decision.

  • Growth Stage

     

    Structured, but Stalled

    You’ve built process and oversight and sourcing decisions are more consistent, but alignment still takes effort. IT, Finance, and Procurement each bring rigor, yet collaboration can slow momentum. You’re scaling fast and need to balance transformation with control. With stronger alignment and better data, you can move at the speed of change without sacrificing confidence.

  • Mature Stage

     

    Connected, Continuous

    You’ve built a sophisticated digital ecosystem and now you’re focused on maximizing its value. IT, Finance, and Procurement work in sync to consolidate vendors, streamline renewals, and reinvest savings into innovation. Every decision is informed, efficient, and defensible. You’re not just buying smarter — you’re leading strategically.
