Reviewing an Indian vendor

Know the truth about your Indian vendor before you renew

For companies whose Indian IT or outsourcing vendor is missing targets, costing more, or coming up for renewal.

Call us when

  • Service levels are being missed, but the vendor's reports look fine.
  • Costs keep rising without more being delivered.
  • Key people keep leaving your account.
  • Renewal or exit is coming up and you need facts.

What we do

  • A fixed-price review of delivery, cost, people risk and the contract, based on your own records.
  • Clear options: renew on better terms, fix specific problems, or exit.
  • If you continue, a monthly review of delivery and invoices against the contract.

What we measure

We agree the exact measures with you at the start, using your own data. These are typical.

Questions

Will you try to sell us a replacement vendor?

No. We don't supply or sell vendors. If anyone connected to us could benefit from replacing your vendor, we tell you in writing before we start.

Do we have to continue after the review?

No. The review is fixed-price and the findings are yours to keep, whatever you decide.
