There are a large number of IT Consultants and IT Market Analysts who can provide advice across a huge range of subjects.

But who is going to save your organisation the most money?

Some of the main IT analysts include IDC, Gartner, Forrester Research, Ovum Consulting, and Datamonitor. IT consultants include KPMG, Accenture, ICN and PA Consulting. They all offer a wide range of skills, and some of them can also provide Procurement and Negotiation advice.

So how can you decide who will offer the most value to your organisation when it comes to providing IT Procurement and IT Negotiation advice? Here are some tips to help you choose your consultant:

• Ideally, find a firm that specialises in only offering IT Procurement and IT Negotiation advice. Just because a Consulting firm has a wide range of service offerings doesn’t mean that they are experts at everything. Being a jack-of-all-trades across a wide spectrum often means little in-depth knowledge in many areas. 
• If you are engaging an IT Procurement or IT Negotiation advisor, you should also ensure that they are completely vendor independant and have no ties or affiliations with any IT suppliers. Many so-called independant Consultants also generate income from IT Suppliers which creates a conflict of interest.
