Director of IT Procurement · Global Financial ServicesWe are a specialist advisory firm focused exclusively on enterprise software licensing and IT contract negotiation. Our consultants held senior commercial roles inside Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, AWS, and Google Cloud before joining our firm. We now deploy that insider knowledge exclusively for enterprise buyers — across licensing optimisation, cloud contracts, AI procurement, SaaS agreements, IT outsourcing, and vendor compliance audits.
Our engagements are confidential, objective, and wholly independent of vendors. We are retained by the buyer and answer to the buyer alone.

Our consultants spent 10–22 years inside Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, AWS, and Google Cloud in senior commercial roles. We know how vendors price, discount, escalate, and audit — because we designed those systems. That institutional knowledge now works exclusively for buyers.
We bring financial modelling, benchmark databases, and contractual analysis to every engagement. Our recommendations are quantified, documented, and defensible at board level. We don't advise on gut feel — we advise on evidence.
We accept no referral fees from vendors and hold no vendor certifications. Our income derives solely from client engagements. We negotiate against vendors daily and our interests are permanently aligned with yours — not with the software industry.
