Stack the Cards in Your Favor
Before negotiating a deal that will lock you in for years, get armed with hard market intelligence and pricing data that your peers are getting across the U.S.
Our proprietary Paladin Blue Book™ of vendor contract, pricing data and market intelligence includes thousands of invoices and vendor contracts from more than 1,400 institutions between $200M and $50B across the country.
If you employ our proven and experienced negotiation team of hired guns, you can rest easy knowing the cards will be stacked in your favor, and your institution will leave the negotiation table with both the best possible commercial terms at the best possible market price.
If you are more of a Lone Ranger type and would rather just have access to the Paladin Blue Book™ so you can go it alone – we’re happy to help.
