Software Decision Intelligence
Decision-grade software evaluations and renewals.
Every software cycle ends with the same question. Renew. Renegotiate. Replace. Consolidate.
Most teams answer it with rushed RFx processes, fragmented inputs, and last-minute alignment that still leaves doubt.
TBM Council and Archways replace that chaos with a repeatable decision workflow that produces clear, defensible outcomes. Fast when timing matters. Solid when governance counts.
The Impact:
Reduce time spent on software evaluations and renewals by 85%
Point and click to leverage thousands of proven requirements, or define your own
Create clear criteria, scoring, and decision grade evaluation outputs
Proactively assess renewals, identify risk, consolidation & negotiation opportunities
Two ways to start:
Path 1: Start with a TBM specific evaluation or renewal
A TBM Council exclusive evaluation and renewal accelerator, built to help you make a real decision under real time pressure, without integrations or portfolio setup.
Use it to pressure-test an incumbent, clarify trade-offs, and walk into renewal or governance discussions with evidence instead of assumptions.
Currently supported TBM domains include:
- Technology planning, budgeting and forecasting
- FinOps cloud cost management and billing
- IT financial management
- Technology Product and Service TCO
Path 2: Start from your software portfolio
If you are managing multiple renewals, overlapping tools, or a broader rationalization effort, you can start with portfolio context.
You can analyze portfolios of hundreds or thousands of applications to help you:
- See upcoming renewal commitments and where leverage windows exist
- Identify overlap, duplication, and consolidation opportunities
- Focus evaluation effort only where change is justified
Why Software Decision Intelligence?
- Decisions don’t reset every cycle: Requirements, trade-offs, evidence, and rationale are captured once and carried forward, so each renewal or evaluation starts with context, not a blank page.
- 85% faster evaluation cycles without weaker governance: Teams move quickly without resorting to rushed RFx processes or last-minute alignment, while outcomes stand up to executive, audit, and procurement scrutiny.
- Stronger leverage at renewal time: Fit, gaps, risks, and alternatives are clear before renewal windows close, giving leaders a stronger position in renewal and negotiation discussions.
