Buyer view — the executive’s side of the same case

The short version
Executives on legacy infrastructure — roughly $10M/yr each — needed to be AI-ready without a two-year migration. We put the right answer in front of them at the right moment, ran the cutover with them, and left them on a better platform at roughly $5M/yr — permanent savings, every year forever.
The executive scoreboard (per executive)
Same 60 days, counted from the executive’s P&L.
- ~$10M/yr
- legacy spend, per executive, before
- ~$5M/yr
- new spend, per executive, after
- $5M/yr
- permanent savings, per executive, every year forever
- 60 days
- from first outreach to a signed cutover plan
The seller’s $104M is the sum of these executive-side savings, just counted from the other direction.
How the answer found them
Every conversation started from a specific executive outcome — a defensible cloud-spend cut without slowing the AI roadmap — with proof their finance team could sign off on before the first meeting.
Example
A CFO needed a defensible cloud-spend cut without slowing the AI roadmap. What landed on their desk wasn’t a demo request — it was a 1-page cost-takeout POV with three specific savings vectors, already sized against their footprint. That’s the level of specificity that made it easy to say yes.
Why it worked
The offer was already defensible before the meeting. The savings math held up on the executive’s side of the table. The cutover was handled with them, not thrown over the fence. And nothing was pitched that didn’t clear a real bar.
The Buyable score
On the Buyable scale, this outcome scored 8.7 — material savings, a defensible number, low-drama execution, and a business case that funded itself.
Is this for you?
If you’re an executive with a $5M+/yr line item where a better answer probably exists — and you want it brought to you already defensible, with the cutover handled — that’s what we do. We only bring things forward that hold up on your P&L.
