One-time purchase · instant download · no subscription
Procurement & Vendor Management
Procurement-side IT operations — vendor TCO, contract leverage, the discount stack. From the distributor side of the table.
Why this is operator-grade
Built by Petko Petkov — a 15-year enterprise IT operator who has sat on both the vendor-distribution and buyer-operator sides of the table. Every Vihren Labs product is built from real scenarios: real SAP T-codes, real regulation article numbers, real cutover-night failure modes. Not consultant theory — the templates the operator wished existed when the system had to work on Monday morning.
About the maker →The thinking behind it
Three IT procurement mistakes I've watched repeat from the vendor side
From 15 years on the vendor-distribution side of enterprise IT deals: the three renewal mistakes that repeat across organisations — starting the conversation at T-30 instead of T-90, negotiating price instead of contract terms, and never asking what the distribution channel already knows — and what the best procurement teams do instead.
Vendor-side observations on how enterprise IT procurement actually works
What the vendor and distribution side actually does when your IT spend comes up — whether it's a competitive RFP or a quiet renewal. The signals they read: is the competition genuine, who controls the channel and deal registration, the executive relationship map, your own internal fault lines, whether you can operationally switch — and the two renewal mistakes that cost more than any discount saves.
