We provide strategies to efficiently navigate the vendor ecosystem to find the vendors that match your business and infrastructure needs, negotiate your contracts, and ensure a smooth transition to the new vendors.<\/p>\n
Multi-vendor solutions offer the best capabilities and the greatest economic value. However, multi-vendor solutions come with the challenge of managing multiple vendor relationships, procurement models, and service contracts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Partnering with us reduces the time necessary to gather and select quotes and solutions from vendors. Working with Portfolio will change your engagement with vendors from the existing cumbersome process to a simple six-step engagement.<\/p>\n
