Policy Harmonization for IT Procurement: Alignment Across Entities
Despite the European Union’s push for smarter procurement, over 55% of public tenders still prioritize price alone—leaving innovation and sustainability on the sidelines. This signals a pressing need for harmonized IT procurement policies that unlock broader strategic value. When aligned across entities, IT procurement policies can deliver powerful outcomes: cost savings, lower compliance risks, streamlined operations, and accelerated innovation. For organizations operating across diverse structures—whether multinational corporations, government agencies, or academic institutions—policy harmonization isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential.

Proactive Risk Management in Complex Vendor Networks
Working with multiple vendors offers key advantages, such as cost savings and quality improvements. More importantly, engaging multiple vendors helps reduce reliance on a single supplier, which protects the organization from potential supply chain disruptions, financial instability, or operational failures on behalf of one vendor. However, this benefit comes with the challenge of managing a more complex network of vendor relationships. To mitigate risks effectively in a multi-vendor environment, businesses need clear contract management, strategic vendor selection, greater transparency, and rigorous performance monitoring. Balancing risk reduction with operational efficiency is key to ensuring successful mitigation without disrupting the organization.

Power is the New Procurement: Buying Compute + Kilowatts Together
As AI workloads scale, the true cost of compute is no longer measured in tokens or instances; it is measured in kilowatts, carbon intensity, and latency thresholds. This shift demands a new commercial playbook where energy becomes a first-class contract term. Enterprises must now co-price compute with power, embed energy-indexed clauses, and negotiate for sustainability-linked incentives. Avasant’s AI Contract Intelligence framework helps organizations future-proof their sourcing strategies by integrating energy terms across the compute stack, from hardware to application. The result: predictable costs, assured capacity, and measurable ESG impact.

The IT Consultant’s Playbook: Human-Centered Success in IT Divestitures Why the Consultant’s Mindset Matters
As enterprises accelerate carve-outs to unlock value, IT divestitures have become strategic imperatives—demanding more than just frameworks. Divestitures can lead to significant financial and operational consequences. A failed divestiture, as seen with Meta's $262 million loss on the sale of Giphy due to regulatory pressure, contrasts sharply with successful ones. For instance, in 2023, Fidelity Information Services improved its financial standing and stock price by selling a 55% stake in Worldpay to GTCR for $11.7 billion, showcasing the strategic benefits of a well-executed divestiture
