Save up to 15% on your next Microsoft renewal

Negotiating your Microsoft renewal is always a challenge.

Your account rep is under pressure to sell more advanced functionality, discounting practices vary from deal to deal and they release their “best and final” offer only days before your renewal date.

How can you be sure you’re getting the best deal possible on your renewal?

Frequently Asked Questions

Microsoft is a monopoly, why would they bother adjusting prices for my business?

With 80%+ gross margins in the software space, Microsoft always has room for improvement. The trick is knowing how and where to look for savings. Dark Horse knows where and how to look.

Our Microsoft agreement expires in a few weeks, is there still time to negotiate?

Yes. Our model is based on coming in at the last mile. To get started, we typically need 4 hours to review your contract and provide a strategy for moving forward. Engagements usually last between 2 and 10 days, so things move quickly.

Will working with Dark Horse affect my relationship with my vendor?

Not at all. We come from their side of the table, so we know what they’re thinking about, what they care about, and what they’re willing to gain in exchange for a better price. Plus, you’re always in the driver’s seat. We won’t do anything without your consent.

We have a strong procurement dept. Will working with Dark Horse create issues there?
