Government Agencies

Optimize every dollar in your budget.

Governments and educational institutions have a responsibility to get the most out of every dollar spent. But many spend areas are complex and sensitive, resulting in providers overbilling government agencies by hundreds of millions of dollars per year. As proud members of the Government Business Executive Forum (GBEF), SIB helps federal, state, and local governments better understand their spend, reduce costs, and create savings within any stage of the budget cycle, empowering teams to achieve their telecom and technology goals.

Our Process

  1. Review Vendor Spend
    We look at 12 months of expenses across all categories from your general ledger to give you the big picture view of your spend and identify high-potential savings areas.
  2. Define the Scope and Roadmap
    Decide which expenses you want to tackle first. We meet with internal stakeholders in each expense category to gather additional details and data and obtain authorization letters permitting us to work directly with your vendors.
  3. Analyze, Negotiate, and Present the Opportunity
    We thoroughly audit your spend, invoices, and contract terms and conditions, uncovering every area for savings and optimization with existing vendors and services. Upon request, we can also look at sourcing alternate vendors. You review the full scope of opportunities and decide which to approve and implement.
  4. Implement Savings Strategies
    We put new contracts and rates into effect and provide your internal teams with documentation of all new pricing agreements, terms, and conditions. When you save, we share a portion of the savings, so there are no upfront costs and no risks to you.
  5. Validate Savings and Ensure Compliance
    We partner with you throughout the scope of your new contracts and service agreements to keep vendors in compliance, validate savings, and ensure you are receiving all negotiated services. We proactively look for new or additional savings opportunities to ensure best-in-market rates for the long term.
