Negotiating with Fortra

Negotiation Tips

By presenting competition as an alternative, you'll enhance your negotiation leverage significantly. You should inform Fortra that another vendor is providing a lower quote for similar functionalities. This tactic can push Fortra to either reduce their pricing or enhance their offered services to remain competitive.
Customers who strongly push against proposed uplift percentages during renewal discussions often achieve better outcomes. Stress that your budget only accommodates a fixed amount without any uplift, leveraging your continuing business relationship with them to encourage them to waive the uplift.
During the negotiation, emphasize the necessity for the contract to exclude any auto-renewal provisions. This change not only helps to maintain flexibility in the future but also places the onus on Fortra to negotiate transparently during each renewal cycle.
If a discount is provided during negotiations, ensure it is clearly stated in the agreement that it is not a one-time offer. Negotiate to carry any discounts over into future terms based on your established relationship and continued usage, especially given potential budget constraints.
Review the current contract closely for any clauses that may affect your renewal, including structures for automatic renewals or hidden costs that can arise during renewals. Request clarity on all the terms to avoid unexpected charges arising from these points.

This supplier is proposing large increases at renewal. They will reduce the increase with pushback and when leveraging budget constraints.
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
During our renewal for Phish Labs, we were informed that our current 26% discount off the list price would not be honored. Given that our budget allocation was based on the previous contract value, we faced the possibility of having to remove products to stay within budget. After several rounds of negotiations, we successfully had our legacy discount honored without reducing scope.

Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
We purchase Alert Logic through a reseller (Aptum) and they offered a flat, 12 month renewal off the bat, but there were no other avenues for further discounts. They were firm on legal terms and would not remove auto renew citing it as a protection, and said they do not offer multi-year discounts.
