ABOUT CLEAREDGE ACADEMY
Raise Awareness.
Build Skills.
Develop Leadership.
With 80% of IT budgets tied up in legacy solutions, and little left to invest in innovations that enable the business, it has become imperative to control the power and reach of incumbent suppliers. To ensure that buyers maintain leverage over their spending, clients must elevate the role of IT deal makers. Led by former senior sales executives from Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, EMC and other large IT suppliers, ClearEdge delivers a customizable education program, focused on the unique roles and responsibilities of IT, finance, business and sourcing professionals. The program emphasizes leverage management and is designed to:
-
Raise awareness of supplier sales systems and negotiation strategies
-
Equip your team with skills needed to inspect deals for opportunity
-
Develop leadership to drive the cross-functional alignment necessary to preserve leverage
-
Approach strategic negotiations from a position of strength
