Situation
In general, w & p aimed to contrast existing framework agreements (including individual contracts) with its current WAN provider with an international benchmark, as well as to make adjustments to design and SLAs to future requirements.
Objective
The main objective was the significant reduction in running costs, technical support and know-how transfer. Another goal was the maximum discharge of resources at w & p.
Central Challenge
The particular challenge for Heitzig was, on the one hand, the interesting discussions within the project group to determine the exact technical requirements, and, on the other hand, the very complex and demanding tendering and quotation processing.
Approach
Thanks to the strategically clean planning and tendering, 4 market-relevant providers ultimately submitted their offers. Ultimately, the provider A1 Telecom was able to assert itself for all trades in a bundled award. The Results of the negotiations resulted in an annual reduction of 45% compared to as-is costs.
