Don't Wait for a Crisis to Reduce Costs
"If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your company’s costs and operations, don’t wait for a crisis. Leaders who take a hard, holistic look across their cost base will find opportunity. Those who act boldly and decisively will realize short-term gains — and achieve lasting advantage."
by Paul Goydan and Kevin Kelley
Top 3 Reasons Why You Could Be Losing A Fortune
1
STATUS QUO
Comfort inhibits progress. Your team's current process may deliver cost savings, but likely has not tapped into its full expense reduction potential.
2
RFP PROCESS
More relevant information leads to better decision-making. Your analysis only consists of historical data and RFP data from a select pool of bidders. This not only minimizes the value of your RFP process but also leaves behind a substantial amount of potential savings.
3
TOO BUSY
Your team's overwhelming workload is allowing millions to slip through the cracks. Your team is a finite resource with limited time and tools.
Continuous improvement is the goal. If you could invest $1 to gain $3, would you break the status quo? System Stream is your no upfront fee solution to continuously drive your expense reduction initiatives.
System Stream delivers market intelligence through price benchmarking analysis. Data from over 23,000+ organizations. 150+ million data points. Actual (never survey) data.
$4.5 MILLION... ALMOST LOST
"A large organization awarded their Telecom RFP to their incumbent vendor. They reduced their expenses from the previous contract and felt very confident of the value they received in their RFP process. Our team finally convinced them to take advantage of the complimentary review to confirm their perceived value received. Our team analyzed and price benchmarked the RFP results and previous contract.
The result found $4.5 million in additional cost savings, plus over $300,000 in past year's billing errors. Our team helped to renegotiate the deal to secure the additional savings and a credit for the past year's billings errors.
This happens frequently across multiple expense categories and organizations. You don't know, what you don't know. This is why our team provides a complimentary review of your business services agreements. It pays to take us up on our no-risk offer, you just might save millions."

Any Of This Sound Familiar?
We already have great prices from our vendors.
We just signed a new contract and we're confident in the savings we've negotiated.
We're under contract right now and can't renegotiate for another 3 years.
We have a great team that does all of this internally, we don't use consultants.
How do you really know? Wouldn't a price benchmarking comparison to confirm your savings potential be of value to your organization?
Are you price benchmarking to confirm your savings potential? If so, are you utilizing external actual data versus survey data?
What our team has found with many clients all across the country, is that contracts can be renegotiated at any point in time. If your potential savings might be substantial, isn't it worth exploring?
So, you don't know what you don't know? If you live on an island and never leave to explore outside of your village, how do you know what is available elsewhere?
We've already done price benchmarking and know our pricing is good.
This isn't a priority right now, we'll reach out to you if needed in the future.
Register on our portal and when a need arises you'll receive an opportunity to bid.
We don't tell our suppliers how to run their business, we trust they're providing us with the best value possible.
What data did you use for your price benchmarking? Historical internal data, external survey data, or external actual market place data?
When is losing millions not a priority? What is your burn rate and how much money do you need to lose for this to become a priority?
We'll definitely register on your portal. However, what are the chances that you already have an RFP established for spend analysis and price benchmarking across 40+ categories of business services expenses?
Trust, but verify! What are the odds that your suppliers don't have waste in their organization that is preventing them from delivering more value to your company? Across your supply base, its probably costing you millions.
COMPETING PRIORITIES LEADS TO PROCRASTINATION
"It is common for organizations to procrastinate and question whether or not our team can deliver value. When our team is finally provided the opportunity to leverage our expertise and solutions, our team finds millions being lost across multiple expense categories. This is why we feel the need to be blunt. Had our team been deployed sooner rather than later, millions could have been saved for these organizations. Procrastination and maintaining the status quo is most likely costing you millions."

"YOU COULD BE LOSING A FORTUNE" - NOT CONVINCED YET?
"Let's assume your organization is in the Top 1% of expense reduction goal achievement. Meaning, your team has been very effective in reducing expenses and there is very little opportunity to cut costs any further. It is very unlikely this is the case across 40+ business services categories, but let's give your team the benefit of the doubt. Congratulations for a job well done... however, you're still losing a fortune. Why? Because it's extremely unlikely that your suppliers have achieved the Top 1% too.
Your suppliers are providing products and solutions to your organization based on their current cost structure. Multiply the cumulative waste in your supply base and the financial impact to your organization leads to a fortune in lost opportunity. System Stream is the invaluable resource that doesn't cost your organization a dime out of pocket, and continuously works to cut the waste out of your supply base. The result is a positive financial impact to your suppliers and your organization."
