We do not have partners

Critical for us at Dante Deo is remaining 100% impartial. Delivering the best commercial arrangement on behalf of our client, is our only objective. To ensure that this remains a priority, we do not have any partners that we work with, we do not sell any other products and/or services other than our own and nor do we have any shareholding in any organization that do. Thus, we have no vested interest in promoting any potential supplier that we deal with for our clients.

The challenge for sourcing and procurement

Information Technology is a vital catalyst to business success. Technology must enable simpler, faster and more efficient operations as well as protect competitiveness and grow margins by streamlining and automating many of the traditional business processes. In achieving this, the demands from business stakeholders, clients, shareholders and even competitors are pushing the traditional boundaries of technology within the business necessitating sourcing and procurement to become more informed, innovative and agile.

Being a specialist in IT Sourcing and Procurement working across many sectors, we have the experience and understand the challenges to deliver an integrated commercial solution that enables our clients to focus on running IT, instead of finding IT.

It needs to be done fast

As digitalization becomes a necessity, cloud first becomes the norm, and e-social technologies disrupts the business landscape, the traditional boundaries of IT Sourcing and Procurement is changing rapidly. Most organisational functions today manage "Technology" budgets as part of their operational budget and thus the ability of Sourcing and Procurement to deliver is being put under enormous pressure. Added to this, the integrated nature of technology has huge up-stream and down-stream impacts. When sourcing and procurement professionals do not have the technical background, it can cause even more delays. This is something that we at Dante Deo are acutely aware of. In discussions with CIO's, we found that the IT sourcing and procurement teams are simply to slow and lack the detailed technical knowledge. One of the CIO's that we have spoken to said: "By the time procurement has done their job, the need does not exist in the business any longer".

Given our expert knowledge, we deliver savings faster! A recent project that we did for one of our clients, we delivered in 4 months, delivering an average of 20% saving across the top 10 strategic vendors.

Need a difference?

Our innovative services, that allows our clients to either augment their internal teams or outsource the entire IT Sourcing and Procurement process, is what is "Delivering a Difference". If your organisation needs a difference, you need to contact us today.
