Vendor Expertise / ERP
ERP negotiations that survive the implementation.
SAP, Oracle, Workday, NetSuite, Dynamics — the contract signed on day one determines the leverage you have for the next decade.

SI rate reductions
ERP deals are unusual: the software costs less than the change program around it, but the license and subscription terms dictate every downstream cost — SI rates, environments, integration users, indirect access, and audit exposure. We negotiate the paper so that the implementation, the upgrades, and the eventual re-platforming all stay on your side of the table.
01
Scope
New selections, renewals, migrations to cloud editions (RISE, Fusion, S/4HANA, Dynamics 365), and post-signature audit defense.
- Metric selection — the single biggest driver of 10-year cost
- Environment and non-production licensing
- Indirect / digital access language
- Named user vs full-use classification
- SI master service agreement negotiation
02
What we protect against
Audit clauses that assume good behavior on both sides but only enforce one, migration credits that expire before you're ready, and rate cards that reset silently at year 3.
Same seat. Every time.
Vantage Decisions only ever represents the buyer. No vendor commissions, no reseller kickbacks — just leverage.
