Additional investment in consultancy-style support
“Gartner can help us drive greater value and impact from those engagements by equipping us with the guidance and resources required to execute on the recommendations quickly and effectively. And in some instances, we won’t need the consulting support. Instead of paying per project, we can leverage tailored support from their 2,000+ experts throughout the life cycle of our business-critical initiatives to mitigate the risk of delays and unsuccessful implementations.”
Questionable relevance for our company or industry
“Gartner’s 2,000+ experts speak daily with leaders across industries and regions to help over 15,000 companies achieve their priorities. Through this exposure, these experts identify where solutions are common and where application to an industry needs to differ. For example, Gartner has cross-industry focus areas for technology research based on those respective needs. Our dedicated account team tailors the support to our needs and the needs of our business.”
Commitment to a multi-year investment
“Our initiatives and long-term strategy align to the multiyear proposal. Since these have a two- to three-year life span, this arrangement will support our strategic trajectory, while allowing us to spend less time being pulled into transactional discussions. Additionally, we will lock in commercial terms and avoid price increases.”
