Growth, mergers, divestitures, changing business requirements, increased cost demands, strained vendor relationships and a variety of other factors have resulted in the need for payers to consider consolidating print services.
How we can help you
PricewaterhouseCoopers can tailor its pragmatic, business-driven approach for print services consolidation to address a payer's unique business and market needs. We can:
- Conduct an initial business needs assessment based on interviews with key stakeholders.
- Identify high-level criteria (business strategy/value drivers, vendor relationships, technical standards, cost limitations and risk considerations) to define and qualify potential solutions.
- Develop a business case to frame and present the value proposition of proposed alternative solutions. This task includes benefit and risk analysis of the service, financial and technology components.
- Develop a request for proposal and submit to new and current vendors to gather up-to-date information on their operational capabilities, pricing and print-specific technology.
- Facilitate the respondent evaluations, including any formal question-and-answer session between your organization and the vendors, and incorporate the results into the analysis documents.
- Summarize the analysis for the service/operations, technology and financial components into a final business case so that your executive team can make an informed decision.
- Facilitate increasingly focused discussions that position you for contract negotiation and implementation planning. These discussions should result in a clear view of alternative internal and external solutions and steps needed to implement them successfully.
