Procurement

Subscriptions don't arrive in your organisation as a neat, managed portfolio. They accumulate — vendor by vendor, business unit by business unit, renewal by renewal — until you end up with contracts owned by different people, tracked in different spreadsheets, renewing at different times, and no single person who holds the complete picture.

If someone asked you today to produce a full, accurate view of what your organisation pays for market data — across every vendor, every business unit, every product — how long would that take? How many people would you need to call? How confident would you be in the answer?

Auto-renewal clauses are vendor-friendly by design. Notice windows are deliberately short. By the time most procurement teams are aware that a major renewal is approaching, the window to negotiate meaningfully has already narrowed. Sometimes closed entirely.

Escalation clauses compound quietly. Price hikes land as surprises. The renewal rolls forward, year after year, because there was no structure — and no time — to do anything else before the deadline passed.

The vendor's commercial team knows your renewal date. They know how much you use the product. They know what your alternatives are — or aren't. You walk in with whatever you could pull together under time pressure.

That's not negotiation. That's acceptance.

Without benchmark pricing, utilisation data, or overlap evidence, every renewal defaults to "what did we pay last time, plus the vendor's ask?" Across a portfolio of data subscriptions, the cumulative cost of that pattern over three to five years is significant.
