Data Purchase Optimisation
Maximise the ROI of your data contracts by auditing usage, reducing waste, and renegotiating for better value.
WHAT WE DO
Help you spend smarter on data and studies.
We assess your current data purchases, from trackers to ad hoc studies, and identify where value is lost : whether through underused outputs, duplicated spend, or misaligned scopes. We support your teams in renegotiating contracts and refining scopes to reduce costs and increase relevance.
THE QUESTIONS WE HELP OUR CLIENTS TO ANSWER
- Are we getting the most out of our current data contracts?
- How can we renegotiate smarter to get more value from our partners?
