IT procurement is the place where the largest budgets and the greatest risks come together: lock-in, licensing hoops, cloud contracts with fine print and suppliers who just happen to know the subject better than you do. At least, until after this training.
For two days, we will level up your conversation partner: enough technology to avoid confusion, and above all, an approach to procurement that focuses on capturing value and flexibility rather than just a price.
Buyers, contract managers, information managers and CIO office professionals who guide IT acquisition projects, from software licenses to outsourcing. With extra focus on the public context (procurement of IT).
Prerequisites: Purchasing experience; specific IT knowledge is not required; we will build on that in the training.
Your trainers come from the Digital team at Supply Value and guide IT sourcing processes and tenders for the public and private sectors, under the leadership of Geerten Peek [verify]. The contract examples come from their own negotiation rooms.
No. We make you exactly technical enough: you learn the concepts you need to understand suppliers, without having to become an architect yourself.
Yes. The public context is explicitly addressed: from the functional specification of IT to the pitfalls of IT procurement. Private participants benefit from the same principles.
60 minutes of intake + 5 working days of analysis + feedback. Free of charge and without obligation.
