Burke Vendor Management

Burke provides ICT vendor support to State Government, Federal Government and Large Enterprises clients through our Vendor Management and Lifecycle Framework. We have a portfolio of 150 vendors, that we have vetted against security, risk, sustainability, financial stability and reliability. Investing the time and choosing the right vendor is critical to the success of any IT project. The vendor landscape is constantly changing with ermerging vendors challenging the established vendors. Our Vendor Management Lifecycle Framework includes: - Define Objectives - Vendor Selection - Vendor Onboarding - Continually cycle through our Vendor Management Framework until the contract is finished - Vendor Offboarding As an independent consultant, we help with strategic vendor selection including negotiating pricing, terms, service level agreements, delivery timelines, due diligence, and background checks. Our clients are fast tracked through the vendor discovery process with a short-list of potential vendors that meet their requirements. Our Vendor Management Framework provides a structure for the success of the contract for all stakeholders. The five pillars in our framework : - Vendor Performance - Collaboration & Relationship - Compliance & Contract - Risk Management - Financial Management These 5 pillars are all important to a successful ICT contract. Client and vendor relationships need to follow a structure to be successful or otherwise risk failure. We can also help by ‘unlocking vendor value’ by providing resources from vendors at no additional cost. This includes engineering and solution architects, and training. We work closely with procurement teams to make it easier for them. We make it easy to do business with, we are transparent and communicate regularly. Vendors like to work with us because we bring them qualified opportunities so they are willing to invest resources required for a successful engagement.
