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.

Avasant’s IT Spending Trends in Construction and Trade Services 2024 highlights that IT budgets in construction are not only smaller in proportion to revenue but also stretched thin across fragmented organizations and project-based models. For small and mid-sized contractors, the industry’s backbone, these constraints often limit investment in next-generation platforms.

However, 2022 trends show a decrease in network support staffing to below pre-pandemic levels. This may be due to businesses reverting to “normal” operations, an increase in automation, a growth in other IT areas, or a combination of these and other factors.
