Cost saving opportunities in the network infrastructure market
The adoption of various cost-optimization levers helps buyers of network infrastructure realize direct cost savings and enhance category management and value benefits (including reduced procurement complexities).
Technavio procurement experts have segmented the cost saving opportunities in the network infrastructure market into the following value-enhancement opportunities:
- Adoption of technology
- Supplier Competition
- Adoption of negotiation strategies
- Optimization of procurement practices
- Bundling of services
Adoption of technology saving aspects
The adoption of analytics to monitor application behavior and the use of advanced network architecture, such as SDN to provide high bandwidth, along with the adoption of virtualized function networks, such as vRAN to enable centralization of network services can lead to reduced costs to the extent of 30% of the total category spend.
Buyers look for suppliers that offer technologically advanced networks with large bandwidths that can manage increased traffic and can be configured to support frequent innovations.
Supplier competition saving aspects
In the global network infrastructure market, competitive bidding in the form of price discounts and negotiations on value-added services enables suppliers to win business. Suppliers compete for offering services such as assistance on broadband extension and increasing the number of nodes across network devices.
Buyers prefer suppliers with networks that can limit the effects of faults/failure to fewer devices and provide quick recovery. Therefore, they seek suppliers that have well-defined backup mechanisms in place to enhance their capacity to tolerate faults or failures.
Bundling of services saving aspects
One of the most opportunistic strategic cost saving levers in the global network infrastructure market is the bundling of network infrastructure deployment, upgrading, and maintenance services.
Organizations evaluate engagement opportunities with service providers that offer cloud-based services and take ownership for managing network configuration, change, and compliance management.
