2Data regardless of company size.

Why choose an independent advisory instead of an LSP?

LSP’s can be helpful for compliance maintenance, but because they resell vendor licenses there’s an obvious conflict of interest. An independent advisor safeguards your best interests by remaining totally vendor and tool agnostic.

+

What happens if we already have a reseller or LSP? Do you work with them or replace them?

An LSP is there to support you with the operational aspects of your contract. Our focus at 2Data is on helping you reduce costs through market insights, benchmark data, and proven tactics to support you in your contract negotiations separate to your LSP.

What’s the average timeline for the delivery of an optimization project?

This depends on your organizational needs. Most once-off optimizations take between 3-6 months, while our Optimization as a Service offering gives you comprehensive coverage over a longer period.

Do you charge a flat fee, time-based rate, or success-based fee?

We use an equitable pricing model that accounts for number of devices/users and geographic considerations. We offer the choice between a flat fee, or a success fee tied to the outcomes of the project.

On average, companies make back 15 times the cost of our services through both realized cost savings and cost avoidance.
