IT Vendor & AMC Cost Review

An independent read on whether you are getting what you pay your IT vendors for.

After twenty-five years on the supplier side, I know exactly how IT contracts are priced, where margin is hidden, and which line items are genuinely necessary.

This review examines your AMC agreements, vendor contracts, licensing and recurring IT spend. I identify duplicated coverage, unnecessary line items, renewals that no longer match your actual needs, and gaps you are assuming are covered but are not.

You get a clear position before your next renewal conversation — and the specific questions to ask.

What you get

  • Line-by-line review of AMC and vendor agreements
  • Identified duplicate coverage and unnecessary spend
  • Gap analysis — what you assume is covered but is not
  • A negotiation brief with the exact questions to raise

This is for you if

  • An AMC or support contract is up for renewal
  • IT costs are rising and the reason is not clear
  • You suspect you are paying for services you do not receive

How it works

What happens during IT Vendor & AMC Cost Review

A defined sequence, so you know what to expect at every stage.

  1. 1

    Gather agreements

    You send over current AMC and vendor contracts, licensing terms and recent invoices — usually more sprawling than expected once collected in one place.

  2. 2

    Line-by-line review

    Every line item is checked against what it is supposed to cover and what you are actually receiving.

  3. 3

    Gap & overlap analysis

    Duplicated coverage across vendors and gaps you assumed were covered are both flagged explicitly.

  4. 4

    Negotiation brief

    A short, specific brief with the exact questions to raise before your next renewal conversation.
