Utilizing CRRE’s TechTRAK Software Platform, we can manage IT, Data, Colocation, and other connectivity contracts: 

CCRE’s TechTRAK – key features:

  • Abstract all existing IT contracts to map the current costs of your company’s IT physical infrastructure 
  • Benchmark those costs one contract at a time to current market conditions on an ongoing basis
  • Provide ongoing due diligence about new products and services in the marketplace and their suppliers  
  • Professional management and monitoring of key contract dates for options, renewals, ramps, and give-backs or cancellations
  • Project management and change implementation from budgetary planning to project completion
  • Strategic advice and new contract procurement guidance based on market data-driven sets

Added Value Proposition:

  • Provides centralized tracking of KPIs and dates
  • Provides centralized management and strategy answerable to C-Suite and The Board
  • Eliminates Redundancies in expenses from organizational misalignment
  • Central Repository: As personnel come and go, documents get lost, institutional memory fades, strategic details are lost in attrition
  • Holistic View: The longer decentralization goes on, the harder it is to break down the component parts and reassemble a more efficient system.

Ways IT Services are Traditionally Purchased and Managed:

  • Sold by in-house supplier representatives to corporate project team members (“Go Get 3 Quotes from Reputable Suppliers and we’ll select one.”)
  • Sold by third-party agents of suppliers to corporate project managers (Master-agent/ Subagent model – more effective than in-house sourcing, but very open to steering through higher percentage commissions, SPIFS, and bonuses)
  • Sold by consultants who sell other things to your personnel (You get “advice” from consultants expert in 1 or several things, without layering in other professionals to get the right ones)
CRRE’s Approach: 

  • We become both the manager and the market-maker for each contract, on each project
  • Transition from “procurementization” of IT purchasing to a managed advisory model
  • Provide truly objective and analytical advice to the client 
  • Enhance communication and transparency throughout the organization by adding clarity to the decentralization problem
