13 1S05_617 Technology Supplies: The Unique Characteristics
14
14 1S05_617 TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIES Rapidly Changing Costs … At home, we expect and see technology products like (Televisions, DVD Players, Stereos, and Appliances) to drop in price over time. At the office, shouldn't we expect the same from technology products like (Back-up tapes, Copier Supplies, and Laser / Ink Jet Supplies)? UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
15
15 1S05_617 TECHNOLOGY SUPPLIES Rapidly Changing Costs … If (You) the consumer are not seeing price reductions from your technology supplies distributor (Vendor), your vendor’s margins (Profit) are going up over time as your prices stay the same. Conclusion: Fixed Pricing = Increasing Vendor Margins = Lost Consumer Savings Opportunity! UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

21 1S05_617 Traditional Contract Evaluation Process
22
22 1S05_617 THE TRADITIONAL CONTRACT “The One Source Solution” Evaluation Process Evaluate entire office product line at same time same way Combine traditional supplies & technology supplies Traditional Supplies 45% Technology Supplies 55% EVALUATION
23
23 1S05_617 THE TRADITIONAL CONTRACT The Traditional Process 1)Submit (RFI) Request for Company (Vendor) Information 2)Submit (RFQ) Request for Quotation - Top Moving Products 3)Establish “Critical Vendor Requirements” E-Commerce Ordering Capabilities National Distribution Large Inventory (high fill rates) Manufacturer Relationships Financially Sound General Infrastructure/Support 4) Request “locked in (guaranteed) pricing” for 1-3+ years 5) Re-Evaluate Pricing as Needed EVALUATION

24 1S05_617 Recognizing “Blind Spots” in a Traditional Contract
25
25 1S05_617 RECOGNIZING THE CONTRACT The Traditional Contract Problems DOES NOT account for rapidly dropping technology supplies cost. DOES NOT provide cost savings plan. DOES NOT target the significant spend area (technology supplies). In brief, the traditional contract DOES NOT recognize the uniqueness of technology supplies. BLIND SPOTS
26
26 1S05_617 SUPPLIER CONFLICT Average Margins Traditional Supplies Technology Supplies 25% + 17% Average Cost-To-Do Contract Stationer Independent I.P. Dealer 19% 12%
27
27 1S05_617 RECOGNIZING THE CONTRACT A thoughtful, well negotiated Technology Supplies Contract must be developed (independent of the Traditional Supplies Contract)... Traditional Supplies 45% Technology Supplies 55% … with a vendor capable and willing to manage the uniqueness of a Technology Supplies Contract. BLIND SPOTS
28
28 1S05_617 Alternative Contract Evaluation Approach
29
29 1S05_617 THE ALTERNATIVE CONTRACT The Alternative Process Create Two Separate Contracts & Manage To The Uniqueness Of Each Traditional Supplies Contract 1) Establish “Vendor Critical Requirements” 2) Submit RFQ – “Request for Quotation” 3) Request FIXED Pricing Plan 4) Redevelop Contract YEARLY Technology Supplies Contract 1) Establish “Vendor Critical Requirements 2) Submit RFQ – “Request for Quotation” 3) Request PERPETUAL Pricing Plan 4) Review Contract QUARTERLY EVALUATION APPROACH
30
30 1S05_617 THE ALTERNATIVE CONTRACT Key Concept – “Real Time Pricing” “Real Time Pricing” occurs when a distributor receives a price decrease and the distributor passes a price decrease from manufacturer to the consumer. Example: Manufacturer drops prices to distributor by 10%, so the distributor (Vendor) drops prices to consumer (You) by 10% EVALUATION APPROACH

32
32 1S05_617 THE ALTERNATIVE CONTRACT Key Concept – “Product Watchdog” “Product Watchdog” occurs when the dealer researches the technology supplies market, looks for cost-saving options and alternatives, and informs the consumer of these options. Result: Consumer (You) benefit through new cost saving options available in market. EVALUATION APPROACH
33
33 1S05_617 THE ALTERNATIVE CONTRACT Key Concept – “Product Watchdog” One Product At a Glance Toner Cartridge: OEM (HP) Item: C4127X$104.77 / each Compatible (Xerox) Item:6R926$65.26 / each – 38% Compatible (Premier) Item:200-27X$48.10 / each – 54% $0.00 $0.01 $0.02 HPXeroxPremier Cost per Printed page EVALUATION APPROACH
