Cost saving opportunities in the enterprise application market

The adoption of various cost-optimization levers helps buyers of enterprise application realize direct cost savings and enhance category management and value benefits (including reduced procurement complexities).

Technavio procurement experts have segmented the cost saving opportunities in the enterprise application market into the following value-enhancement opportunities:

  • Adoption of technology
  • Supplier Competition
  • Adoption of negotiation strategies
  • Optimization of procurement practices
  • Bundling of services

Adoption of technology saving aspects

Technologies such as cloud-based applications and enterprise mobile applications enable cost savings by sharing of computing resources and they also facilitate access to enterprise applications from anywhere.

Also, predictive analytics provides buyers insights from enterprise data. The implementation of enterprise applications has long-term effects on the business process of organizations. Since most enterprise applications have pre-configured functionalities, buyers evaluate the suitability of each functionality with the business process to ensure that it meets specific requirements.

Supplier competition saving aspects

Competitive bidding depends on experience, expertise, value-adds, and transparency in pricing. Apart from price and technology as factors for selecting enterprise applications, buyers look to evaluate them based on existing business processes and integration with the existing software capabilities to ensure better ROI and long-term benefits. These factors help buyers evaluate the compatibility of the tools and features offered by the enterprise application system with existing systems in organizations.

Bundling of services saving aspects

One of the most opportunistic strategic cost saving levers in the global enterprise application market is the bundling of services related to implementation and maintenance of enterprise applications. These include implementation planning, training users, and providing related documentation.

Advancements in enterprise applications in terms of cloud platform and mobility have increased the level of vulnerability of enterprise applications to security threats. Therefore, periodic vulnerability assessments for all enterprise applications are necessary to protect critical data.
