How many vendors are you managing? Probably quite a few. Now, think about how much time you spend on each one. What if you could reduce that time to almost nothing? We have some great news for you.
Inventorying Your Vendors
Let’s start by listing the vendors you probably deal with: the company that handles your network infrastructure, your internet provider, your phone service, your network security supplier, and anyone else involved in your business’ IT. And that’s just your technology vendors—there are likely many more. Managing all of them takes a lot of time.
Is that time you or your team can afford to spare?
You also need to consider vendors as extensions of your business. Their performance directly impacts your operations, which in turn affects how your clients view your company. Ensuring all your vendors deliver on their promises is crucial, adding another layer to the management process.
Potential Issues With Your Vendors
There’s also the risk that your business could suffer from conflicting priorities among your vendors. If one vendor’s solution interferes with another’s, it can create more problems than it solves. And then there’s the issue of quality—not all vendors will meet your expectations, so holding them accountable is vital.
These challenges can make vendor management even more complicated and waste your valuable time.
