WE DON'T BLUFF, WE BUILD LEVERAGE

agreements - leaving IT and finance teams with sticker shock and few clear options.

 

Resourcive,  helps mid-market and enterprise organizations model viable alternatives and negotiate from a
position of strength.

DO I NEED AN INDEPENDENT ADVISOR?

You’re Not Negotiating. You’re Navigating a Trap.

Broadcom’s VMware pricing isn’t just a price increase — it’s a structural change designed to limit options. Without a credible alternative in-hand, you're not negotiating, you're cornered.


Vendor Incentives Are Often Misleading.

Resellers offer “free” professional services or inflated discounts to sway you — often masking true costs. We dissect those offers, identify fluff, and uncover
what actually matters.

Internal Teams Lack the Time & Context.

Your team is busy running the business. We’ve seen dozens of these renewals. We know the tactics, pressure points, and alternative paths — and we can build your case while your team stays focused.

You Only Get One Shot.

Once you accept Broadcom’s terms, you’ve lost your leverage. We help you approach the negotiation with a detailed chip: a documented, defensible plan B thatchanges the conversation.
