Nothing stays the same: your organisation and the environment around it are constantly changing. That means that, as you identify new needs and opportunities, you need to reach out to both your existing and new vendors, whether for 5G, cyber insurance, low code, RPA, computer vision techniques… to name just a few of the new services and domains on offer. For each one, you have to evaluate the vendor, sign the contracts, and onboard them. But that is just the beginning, especially with complex, high-value and interconnected services. You also need to ensure the agreed objectives are delivered – and make sure you start renegotiating your contacts on time, because changing vendors can take years.
Presentations from the Beltug X-change of 8 Nov 2022

In this session, Timelex took us through the different steps of vendor lifecycle management, from selection to offboarding. Then DLA Piper described how different parts of the organisation need to be involved: procurement, of course, but also the business, IT and legal. Finally, Katoen Natie took on a number of specific issues around licensing and open software.
