12 SaaS procurement oversights that shatter Total Contract Value
With input from procurement experts, we've uncovered the 12 most common SaaS procurement oversights that shatter Total Contract Value - leaving only 30-50% of the original ROI left.
For example:
- Without pricing benchmarks, you're risking overpaying.
- Start the process too late, and you're risking losing leverage.

Avoid these oversights - and the other 9 - and you will deliver more TCV, and strategic value, than your peers.


The 12 SaaS procurement oversights - and their true vs assumed threat to TCV

Appreciating the true scale of these oversights' impact on TCV is the first step to fixing them.
