SCENARIO: Large Financial Company• Sent out a lengthy RFI: Developed a set of questions and asked vendors to provide answers.
• 14 qualified vendors: 40 people on each two hour conference call.
• 12 months later, still can’t get comparative or uniform pricing information. Vendors hiding the costs in the variability of the professional services fees.
• Narrowed field down to single vendor – but hearing negative information in the market.
• Running out of time – losing the budget by end of year.

Why is ROI on DCIM so terrible? • Procurement and deployment take too long• Many organizations are not getting what they need from a single tool or vendor
• Pricing volatility, lack of value assigned to the market• Total costs of DCIM are hidden, undocumented, and under-represented
• Buyers use DCIM to replace existing facilities management functions.
