Major System Procurement Strategy
Filling or renewing a gap in your technology infrastructure can be expensive and sometimes nerve-wracking.
You need something new, but you know that any solution you select will be with your business for a long time. The right choice will be crucial. The wrong one will be painful.
At Alyve, we work through a structured process to de-risk outcomes and help you find the right product and, importantly, the right solution partner. Our job is to provide focus and momentum so you can deliver what should be a significant change in how you work and how your customers experience your services.
We can help.

"I need to get ready before I go to the market."
We passionately believe that preparing well before opening discussions with vendors increases the quality of the conversation and speeds up the process as a whole, dramatically increasing the chances of a successful procurement.
Alyve can support you in building the case for change and building internal alignment amongst a diverse stakeholder base. We can deliver business requirements and supporting artifacts. We can undertake a Market Scan on your behalf to determine current best practices along with a vendor option set. Finally, we can deliver an endorsed future state design that decision-makers and the target usergroup can understand.

"I’m ready to go to market, what is the best approach?"
We know it is not as simple as sharing some business requirements with some prospective vendors and hoping for the best. Procurement is a blend of a competitive process, partnership formation and a discovery process. At Alyve we can help you navigate these challenging waters so you can find the right future technology partner.
Alyve can support you in designing a bespoke procurement strategy and process so that you spend the least time getting the highest impact. We can help sketch out what a migration roadmap looks like for the right vendor and we can directly provide a managed procurement on your behalf. After procurement, we can provide targeted resources to ensure a successful transition between the old and new systems.
