Schedule Free ConsultationGet The Best Deals Possible
Remend combines technical expertise, business acumen, experience from hundreds of customer engagements, knowledge of suppliers’ internal operations, and confidence, to make market-leading deals.
Even the most seasoned procurement professionals can be misinformed, too close or even dis-incentived to properly assess and execute a market-leading outcome. This is especially problematic for Oracle, SAP and other perpetual software publishers given you must live with the outcome of commercial terms indefinitely.

Let Remend Help

Customers often buy more than they may ever need, ahead of reasonably defined project plans, and under the pressure of the publisher’s quarter or year-end financial target.
