There is no need for IT managers from small enterprises to simply accept vendor arguments against reducing prices during contract negotiations. Info-Tech recently interviewed 24 IT professionals about how they typically deal with vendor price resistance, identifying several strategies that can be used in these situations to get a reduced price. This research note includes:

  • Five reasons that are commonly given by IT vendors to avoid reducing their prices during contract negotiations.
  • Strategies that IT professionals from organizations of any size can use to respond to each of these vendor positions in order to successfully achieve a price reduction.
