Real Time Contract Management Dashboards
Contract management dashboards enable clients to review and monitor the crucial components of their contracts. This ensures effective change management and compliance with deliverables, obligations, renewals, terminations and exceptions. Promoting consistency of service outcomes, governance discipline, and compliance at all stages.
Performance Valuation Process Dashboards
AvaSense’s performance management capabilities provide organizations with transparency and helps to align vendor management to business objectives and outcomes. Alert triggers actively alleviate issues or conflicts across service level metrics, thus reducing value leakage and enabling proactive third-party risk management.
Financial Management Dashboards
Real-time financial management dashboards give enterprises the ability to reconcile invoices, capture discounts and credits, and gain greater transparency in demand management and total spends across all vendors. This is achieved through a workflow-based approach to financial management and analytics.
Risk and Relationship Management Dashboards
Vendor strategy misalignment typically results in about 10% to 20% deterioration of the desired value. AvaSense™ Relationship Management services provide organizations with increased transparency in vendor relationships. By organizing and structuring communications with vendors, the quality of the relationship is greatly improved.
CASE STUDY
One of the largest quasi-governmental bodies experienced a strain in ensuring transparency and alignment with third party vendors. We identified core capabilities missing from their governance methods and partnered with them to establish their internal processes.
AvaSense™ provided the client with access to real-time analytics, dashboards, and live support by a team of experts.
As a result, the client identified savings of up to 25% across their IT services portfolio and achieved 100% compliance with risk controls across all proactively governed contracts.
