Software maintenance renewal

Hi All!

Just wondering if any of you made a software maintenance reneal process a bit more effective.

I have to deal with multiple vendors and VARs outside of the company and multiple group and department heads inside - I am sure many of you do the same. I would like to ask if any of you are using special tools for this and/or making use of PLM to rout it thru?

Share your ideas please.

Thank you,

D
