costDimensions:
  - name: Platform Subscription
    description: >-
      Annual or multi-year enterprise subscription fee covering licensed
      modules and user access. Starting at approximately USD 150,000/year
      and scaled by organization size, user count, spend volume, and
      module selection.
    unit: per-year
    currency: USD
    estimatedRange:
      min: 150000
      max: 2000000
      notes: >-
        Upper range reflects large enterprise deployments with full
        source-to-pay module suite. Negotiate multi-year agreements
        to minimize annual price escalation (typically 3-5%).
  - name: Implementation Services
    description: >-
      Professional services for initial platform deployment, ERP integration
      configuration, and business process mapping. Typically a one-time
      cost billed separately from the subscription.
    unit: per-project
    currency: USD
    estimatedRange:
      min: 50000
      max: 500000
      notes: >-
        Varies significantly based on complexity of ERP integrations,
        number of systems connected, and degree of custom configuration.
  - name: Integration Add-Ons
    description: >-
      Additional connectors or third-party integrations from the 200+
      available add-on catalog (connectors, workflows, AI agents, compliance
      tools) may carry incremental licensing fees depending on partner
      agreements.
    unit: per-add-on
    notes: >-
      Some add-ons are bundled; others (e.g., EcoVadis, Dun & Bradstreet
      risk data) require separate data provider agreements.
  - name: API Integration Usage
    description: >-
      REST API and EAI integration capacity is bundled within the enterprise
      subscription. There are no separately metered API call fees; however,
      high-volume integration needs may require higher-tier infrastructure
      allocation negotiated at contract time.
    unit: included
    notes: >-
      API throughput and concurrent integration limits are governed by
      subscription tier and tenant deployment configuration.
optimization:
  - name: Module Right-Sizing
    description: >-
      Audit which Ivalua modules are actively used versus licensed. Unused
      modules (e.g., Expense Management, Inventory Collaboration) represent
      opportunity for scope reduction at contract renewal.
  - name: Multi-Year Commitment Discounts
    description: >-
      Negotiate 3-5 year agreements to lock in lower per-year rates and
      reduce annual escalation exposure. Early renewal negotiations can
      yield additional discounts.
  - name: Supplier Onboarding ROI Tracking
    description: >-
      Ivalua's platform claims 90%+ supplier enablement and 80% faster
      onboarding. Quantify savings from supplier portal adoption to
      demonstrate ROI and justify subscription investment.
  - name: Integration Consolidation
    description: >-
      Leverage Ivalua's pre-built ERP connectors and Integration Hub to
      eliminate third-party middleware costs. Consolidating integrations
      onto the native EAI module reduces external tooling spend.
  - name: Procurement Spend Analytics
    description: >-
      Use Ivalua's built-in spend analytics to identify savings opportunities
      across categories, improving procurement ROI and building a business
      case for platform cost justification.
