We are a woman-owned business in operation since 1995. Led by one of the country’s top licensing experts, Ania Levy - with over 25 years of experience in the public and private sectors, Levy LeGette works arm-in-arm with our clients, developing and implementing licensing practices, compliance programs and negotiation strategies. A substantial portion of our service portfolio is represented by our contract negotiation services.
Overall IT cost containment is another of our key services for all companies regardless of size. Our unique cost containment services include remedial contract reviews, license compliance evaluation/correction and cost recovery.
Our skills and experience cover a wide range of IT related contracts. Among them are:
- Software Licensing, Customization and Development
- Outsourced Services
- Application Service Providers
- Hardware and Telecommunications
- Maintenance, Support and Upgrade Services
- IT Consulting
- Business/Disaster Recovery Services
Technology investments also involve the coordination of business operations (including disaster recovery planning), regulatory compliance and legal issues within the framework of a company’s strategies and goals. These concerns may or may not be addressed in vendors' standard form agreements. Few companies have sufficient staff or the time needed to re-visit all of their existing contracts in order to ensure that these concerns are addressed and to mitigate any risks they may discover. Perhaps there is uncertainty about how to better address these issues within the current contracting process to ensure that ongoing and future efforts don't fall short of these new concerns.
The growing field of outsourcing lends even more complexity as there are now global use issues that may conflict with those vendor agreements and even with governmental restrictions surrounding the exportation and use of certain technologies.
We have spent 24 years developing comprehensive IT licensing best practices
with some interesting recent results:
- Our negotiated savings for just 3 of our larger clients exceeds $125 million dollars
- We reduced licensing costs by an average of 40%
- 125,000 desktops (+ 17,000 servers); started at $129 million; end cost $89 million.
- 65,000 desktops (+ 8,000 servers); started at $112 million; end $72.8 millions.
- 10,200 desktops (no servers); started at $17.8 million for a 3-year deal; ended at $5.6 million for a 4 year deal.
- 10,000 desktops nationwide; started at $22 million; ended at $8.5 million (after their own IP attorneys worked on the contracts in question for 13 months!)
- Reduced cost by $3.5 Million in 3 weeks and locked in prices for 5 years under a single contract for a 7,000 desktop client
We are not "Monday Morning Quarterbacks." We sit at the negotiating table
(as participants or leaders) to ensure optimum terms and
the best return for our clients’ investments.
