Planning & Vendor Management

Decisions made ahead of the renewal, not during it.

Someone owns the roadmap, the budget, and every vendor relationship in your environment, so spend is deliberate and nothing is negotiated under pressure.

The auto-renewal

Renewals that auto-charge. Vendors nobody owns.

A roadmap that exists in someone’s head, a contract that renewed because no one had the date, a provider whose access nobody reviewed. Spend that isn’t deliberate is spend under pressure.

The register

What gets written down, and what gets worked.

Three things that exist as documents and three that exist as standing disciplines. The first set is written; the second is worked, on a calendar, until no renewal is a surprise.

01

Written down

Three artifacts, kept current, so the answer exists before anyone asks the question.
// forward

Technology Roadmap

A written view of what needs replacing, upgrading, or retiring over the next four quarters, reviewed with you rather than sprung on you.

// budgeted

Budget Planning

Hardware, licensing, and project costs forecast in advance, so IT spend lands in the budget cycle instead of as a surprise.

// registered

Vendor Register

Who your providers are, what they own, their access level, renewal dates, and escalation contacts: maintained, not reconstructed.

02

Worked

The standing disciplines that keep them current.
// managed

Vendor Governance

We coordinate your providers and hold them accountable directly. “Call them and let us know” is not how this works.

// scheduled

Renewal Management

Contract dates tracked with lead time to review, so renewals are a decision rather than an automatic charge.

// reviewed

Quarterly Reviews

A standing session covering uptime, incidents, upcoming work, and recommendations, delivered on schedule.

03

The boundary

What we run, and what we coordinate.

We don’t administer your platform. We run everything it depends on.

Techromatic doesn’t administer your portfolio system or your fund administrator’s platform. We manage the identity, devices and access those systems depend on, and we coordinate with those vendors directly, so nothing falls between the two.

Your platforms Systems we’ve worked alongside
  • Bloomberg Terminal
  • ComplySci
  • Global Relay
  • Smarsh
  • DealCloud
  • Intralinks
  • Carta
  • QuickBooks
  • Microsoft 365
  • Box
  • DocuSign
we coordinate across this line
  • Identity Who can sign in, and how
  • Devices Every endpoint that touches the systems
  • Access What each person can reach
  • Vendor relationships Who we call, and when
What we run Everything those platforms depend on

Proof

Planning that paid for itself.
40 → 225

A CPA firm scaling from 40 to 225 staff in eighteen months, and management fearing a 30–40% productivity loss. Before any control was bought, the loss was measured (it was 20%) and the fix was sized to that number.

“Thanks to Techromatic’s great work in identifying where productivity was being lost, and implementing a solution to reduce the waste, we are now collecting revenues up to 15% greater than we were before.”

Michael Savage, CEO · Manhattan Professional Group
Monthly

A short- and long-term strategic plan, worked through monthly high-level manager meetings, that reconciled IT with business priorities and replaced a costly third-party VPN with in-house firewalls. Six years and counting.

“Their thoughtful guidance at the highest levels of IT Strategy has enabled us to reduce our server count by over half.”
