Mangelnde Verkehrsdaten zu Vendorenleistung – falsche Erneuerungsentscheidungen
Definition
Without linked performance dashboards, renewal decisions lack vendor accountability data. Teams don't know: Was SLA met? How fast were tickets resolved? Did the vendor cause 3 outages last year? Performance gaps remain invisible until contract renewal. Companies renew poor-performing vendors by default. Alternatively, when changing vendors becomes necessary, teams have no documented performance history to support switching or renegotiation. Each decision error costs 2–5% of vendor spend or productivity loss.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 2–5% of vendor spend wasted on suboptimal renewals or missed consolidation; €400,000–€600,000 annual IT vendor spend → €8,000–€30,000 annual decision error cost; 40–80 hours on post-renewal complaint management = €3,200–€6,400
- Frequency: Annually per vendor renewal cycle; compounded over 3–5 year contract lifecycle
- Root Cause: No performance scorecard system; SLA metrics not tracked or linked to renewal process; no vendor comparison matrix; no documented business case for renewal vs. alternatives
