A global spend management company, had just won a government contract for development and implementation of a statewide procurement system. Now, it found itself with the threat of having the project funding dismantled and its contract on hold.
The company needed help to preserve the appropriation at the state legislature, as well as garner support with executive branch officials to continue with the project schedule. We had to work with them to develop an effective strategy and fast-track the execution.
Traversant Group created a multi-pronged strategy to highlight the benefits of the new system and why further delay would not be advantageous.
With questions being asked, we needed to be able to clearly explain the integrity of the procurement process, the fairness of the contract award and the value proposition. We met with key state officials and staff from the legislative and executive branches to make our case.
“Traversant Group’s focus and flawless implementation of procurement strategies is second to none. They were critical in our efforts to build the Greater Phoenix Smart Region Consortium by coming up with innovative approaches to keep our project moving forward, working tirelessly to solve the Consortium’s challenges, and creating new opportunities for our government, industry, and university partners. Traversant Group’s reputation as the state’s top thought leader in government sales strategy is unquestioned”
