IBM contracts are characterized by high opacity. Since the package price usually offered is not itemized, customers often do not know which costs the individual products cause in the total price. This prevents a conclusive assessment of the appropriateness of the included terms and makes management during the contract period difficult. 

We at Intero Consulting bring "light into the darkness": We analyze and evaluate your contracts and jointly develop measures to optimize your existing or future IBM contracts. Of course, we also support you in implementing the defined measures. 

Thanks to our deep technical expertise in IBM Software & Hardware and our comprehensive knowledge of IBM's pricing structures, you secure an optimal negotiation position and maximum cost transparency right from the start of negotiations.
