NET(net) S.A.V.E. Program:

Spending Assessment | Value Extraction

NET(net) has launched a new program to drive both short term savings and long term value, called SAVE.  With this program, we approach your technology environment with two distinct, yet related teams and methodologies:

• Red Team: Spending Assessment:
  • Top down review of your entire IT spend.  NET(net) will deploy its category experts in each area and prioritize where the opportunities are, both immediate and long term.

• Black Team: Value Extraction:
  • Once the Spending Assessment is complete, we enact an immediate plan to start extracting value and savings from the identified spend.

The best part of the program is our ZERO RISK plan: No fees are invoiced until we have identified Savings opportunities in excess of our fees.
