About Us

We are 100% client-focused.

100% Independent and Certified Women-Owned Business

SCS was founded in 1999 by a group of software sales professionals who witnessed firsthand the non-uniform sales tactics and negotiation practices of IT vendors.

Our company was formed with the sole intent of helping clients successfully navigate complex vendor negotiations by providing analysis, strategy development, procurement support and competitive market insight into unit pricing, licensing structures, term concessions, total cost of ownership (TCO) modeling and negotiation precedence that serve as valuable leverage in the contract negotiation process.

Today, SCS has locations across the US including Florida, Rhode Island, Washington, California, New York and New Jersey. SCS is independently owned and operated with no other corporate investment or interest. SCS is also a Certified Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB).

We provide the following IT Optimization Support Services:

SCS provided great service and results on a multimillion dollar vendor renewal. We plan on using SCS to help us reach our cost savings goals.

Fortune 500 Insurance VP of IT Sourcing

We were under a complex audit and SCS’ team provided the true state of affairs. When SCS finished, we were still out of compliance but nowhere near the extent that the vendor claimed. We now use SCS as a managed service around compliance to help maintain both over AND under utilization.
