Finance leaders
Minimize your IT procurement costs and risks
3Quotes will work with your line-of-business leaders to get you the right contracts at the best price—while you remain in complete control of your procurement processes.
Since 2009, we’ve helped global Finance teams optimize their IT procurement and achieve significant cost savings
And we can do the same for you!
Avoid IT contracts that put your company at risk
Technology is one of your largest expenses. In fact, companies spend up to 6.9% of their annual budget on IT.
However, many Finance teams feel like they have little control over the IT buying process. Business units often go outside of IT and Finance to buy tech tools—resulting in dark purchasing that can impact your budgets, increase your security risks, and lead to audits.
But if you have a busy Finance team, they may not have the time to:
- Review every supplier contract to determine if you’re getting the right solutions at the best price
- Ensure vendors meet your quality and delivery standards
- Minimize your security and compliance risks when bringing in new technology
Optimize your IT budget and gain deeper visibility into your spending
Our strategic IT procurement services will minimize your risks when buying new technology or renewing existing contracts. We’ll give you greater visibility into what departments are spending and who they are spending it with—while saving you an average of 20% on IT solutions.
Remain in total control over your IT procurement
With 3Quotes, you don’t need to change your existing procurement processes. We’ll partner with your in-house IT, Finance, and Procurement teams to shield you from risky contracts and optimize your budget. We can also work with your preferred vendors or recommend one of our trusted partners who meets your business, security, and compliance needs.
Align your teams around shared goals
3Quotes will liaise with stakeholders across your company to ensure your IT purchases help you achieve your strategic goals. We’ll take a holistic view of your IT spend to identify gaps, find the right vendors, and optimize your contracts.
Base your buying decisions on real-time pricing data
Our database of 32,000+ recent IT transactions will show you exactly what other companies pay for software, hardware, and IT services. You can leverage this data during contract negotiations to ensure that you’re getting a fair deal.
Save time on IT procurement
3Quotes will take your time-consuming IT procurement tasks off your plate so you can focus on what matters the most. We can manage your RFPs, review your contracts, and negotiate with vendors to get you better pricing or terms.

Frequently asked questions
IT is a cost center. As a Finance leader, you’re charged with maximizing its ROI while protecting your company from risk. Bringing 3Quotes into the equation allows you to optimize each IT transaction and avoid the traps of risky contracts.
Although you may have optimized your IT procurement processes, having another set of eyes vet each transaction will improve your bottom line at ZERO risk to your business.
We can also give you greater visibility into what business units are purchasing (and with whom) so you can better monitor your company’s IT procurement.
Yes. Since you already have established procurement processes, we can work with you to bring you even better results. We can partner with your internal teams to optimize your IT procurement strategy—without changing your established procurement processes and with ZERO risk.
Our clients tell us that it’s valuable to have another set of eyes for complex contract negotiations, RFP management, and IT budget planning. We can use our extensive partner network and real-time data benchmarking to help you get the right IT solutions at the best price. We can also liaise with your lines of business—including Finance, IT, and Procurement—to align everyone around shared corporate goals.
Procurement companies, such as Gartner, can bring value to the table. However, our clients who have worked with other procurement services tell us that we combine the personalized customer service of a small company with the procurement expertise of a larger firm. They say that our combination of personalization, competitive pricing, flexibility, and exceptional competence makes 3Quotes their preferred IT procurement partner.

Maintaining A+ relationships with your strategic vendors is extremely important, and we don’t want to get in your way. Since we’re not a reseller or in competition with your vendors, we can work with your existing partners to optimize your IT spend while keeping your relationships intact.
Looking for a new vendor? 3Quotes has built C-level relationships with Tier 1 and 2 OEMs and industry-leading solution providers. We can leverage our relationships to bring you additional cost savings and better commercial terms during contract negotiations.
No, we do not. We stick with what we know best—contracts for IT products and services. Since we live and breathe IT procurement, we have the resources and expertise to help you achieve significant savings.
No. We recommend getting to know each other before exploring the idea of a multi-year engagement model.
Our team of IT procurement professionals will do everything possible to guarantee your results. 3Quotes’ clients save an average of 20.46% on IT products and services through our:
- Insider knowledge, including a database of 32,000+ recent IT transactions that provide a real-time view of what organizations pay for technology
- Expert advice from IT procurement professionals who have real-world experience selling tech products and services and can let you know if you’re getting a fair deal
- Exceptional negotiation to get you the right solutions at the right price
But don’t take our word for it. Check out our case studies to see what our clients have to say.
We can partner with you exactly when you need us—whether you’re about to sign a contract or want to plan for the future. Our team of procurement professionals has the resources and experience to execute promptly.
Not under the gun? You’ll get the best results when we have more time to understand your needs and help you achieve your procurement goals.
No. You don’t need to meet a minimum spend requirement. We can help you optimize any size contract—from a $5K SaaS purchase to a very large IT spend.
Once your team has determined the best price from your vendor, simply send us your contract. We will calculate your cost savings based on the total contract value before and after we get involved in your negotiation. The process is black and white with no blurred lines or “gotchas.”
Most procurement experts require a fee upfront. Then, they may—or may not—deliver cost savings. When you partner with 3Quotes, you don’t need to take on this risk and only pay us for contract negotiation services after we find you savings.
We have two compensation models:
- A contingency or success-based fee structure (the Starter Plan). Simply send us a baseline quote, and we’ll try to improve your pricing or commercial terms. If we deliver savings, you’ll pay us a share based on your successful outcomes. If we can’t improve your pricing or terms, you owe us nothing.
- A retainer model (the Growth Plan). Save money on your IT solutions while capping our fees and making predictable OPEX payments. We will work with you to develop a payment plan that improves your forecasting and optimizes your IT spend.
