Get a Grip on Vendors

How do you squeeze the most value from your company’s relationships with hardware and software companies, management consultants and outsourcing firms? Almost half of North American companies now use a dedicated team:

47% of North American businesses have a vendor management office (VMO).

73% of VMOs exist inside the IT organization. That’s up from 62% in 2005.

52% of companies with a VMO say it helps IT’s rep: IT is viewed more positively than it was one year ago.
