Services Procurement

Let’s talk services procurement.

On average, companies spend about $4 billion a year on services—such as IT, HR, consulting, and R&D. That’s a lot of money! How do you make sure it’s going to the right places at your organization? How do you ensure you’re not using an outdated, one-size-fits-all approach for your services? Or worse, ignoring important aspects of your business?

It’s time for a smarter, modern solution. You need a focused services procurement solution. One that gives you enhanced visibility, controls, and risk mitigation.

At TestMSP, we partner with you to design simple, impactful, and fully personalized procurement solutions. Plus, our solutions are powered by industry-leading technology—so you can rest easy knowing we’re doing the research and homework for you.

FAQs about services procurement.

We already engage our services internally. Why should we consider outside support?

Many companies use the typical procurement tools to engage services—which are often the same tools used to buy widgets and materials. These tools may be good enough to deliver basic management of services spend and some visibility, but who wants only “good enough”? If you’re seeking increased value across your services categories, you need tools and insights that deliver greater control and deeper insights. We partner with organizations to help them see around the bend and propel forward to their goals. Just think of us as your own personal jet pack.

Couldn’t I just buy an off-the-shelf services procurement solution?

You could—but providers who sell a standard, one-size-fits-all approach to services and then instruct you to mandate their solutions are leading you down the wrong path. We believe in custom-fit solutions that match your specific needs and goals.

How will I know if my services suppliers are doing a good job?

In a word: insights. You need access to detailed insights to ensure you know what top-performing, custom solutions actually look like for your organization. Our data-driven analytics deliver detailed performance metrics for both suppliers and individual engagements—enabling you to see, analyze, and perform better.

My current provider isn’t cutting it. What can I do?

You’ve probably seen every type of tool and technology out there—all promising to be the magic wand you need for services procurement. But no amount of smart technology can enhance your services procurement approach if it’s not customized specifically for you. We believe a great partner should work with your business to flexibly plug in the support and insights you need—all on your terms. If your current provider isn’t delivering the results you’re looking for, give us a try. We think you’ll like how we do things.
