Long-tail Vendor Management
Optimize contracts and reclaim spend for all your software purchases.
With SHI’s team of vendor management experts, get the help you need to negotiate and optimize contracts with your long-tail vendors.
Speak with a specialistSo much of your organization’s bandwidth goes toward managing your largest software contracts. But without taking the time to optimize your long-tail vendor licensing, you could be wasting valuable IT spend.
Long-tail vendor contracts are for the lower-quantity software used across your organization. These smaller contracts add up over time and without proper management can overwhelm your procurement and ITAM teams with bloated costs and compliancy risks.

With over 30 years of licensing experience, our teams are dedicated to ensuring you get the right contract terms and conditions at the right price for all your smaller transactions.
Countless studies report a financial savings of up to 10 to 20 percent for organizations who can get their tail spend under control
