Carry the decision through.
Execute works from the direction you approved, and every step is checked against it.
Where the market has to be tested, sourcing runs here first. Then the agreement is checked against what was selected, and the transition is sequenced around the contracts you already hold.

Sourcing starts here, when it is needed.
Not every decision goes to market. Renegotiating with the provider you have can be the better answer.
Your Technology Advisor runs the event.
- Providers invited Vera coordinates the requests and collects every response.
- Normalized to one scope Each response mapped to the services you run today, like for like.
- Award through Decide Your Technology Advisor recommends and leads the negotiation. You decide.
Sequenced around the contracts you already hold.
Sites move in groups. Each old agreement exits once its replacement is live and its notice allows, so both providers bill through the overlap.

Crossover is not breakeven.
What changed becomes the record Govern keeps current.
NarrowGateX checks, sequences and records the change. Your providers deliver it, and we do not run your technology.
Some execution work may be funded by the provider you select. Other work is scoped with you before it starts. Where a provider pays NarrowGateX a fee, you see it in writing before you decide, and the recommendation is the same either way.
Seven forms, and only one of them is changing provider.
Which applies depends on what the evidence says is wrong. Assuming it is the provider is how organizations replace a working arrangement and inherit a migration.
Architecture change
The shape is wrong rather than the price. Moving to a different design because the current one cannot do what the business now needs of it.
Service-model change
Same capability, delivered differently: managed instead of self-run, or the reverse, where the operating burden turns out to be the real cost.
Consolidation
Several arrangements collapsed into one, usually after an acquisition or a decade of sites solving the same problem independently.
Resilience
Where the exposure is not cost but what happens when something fails, and the current design has a single point nobody chose deliberately.
Capability improvement
The environment works and is holding the business back. Modernization here is about what becomes possible, not what stops going wrong.
Commercial restructuring
Sometimes the technology is right and the agreement around it is the thing that needs to change. That is a modernization too, and a cheaper one.
Provider change
One outcome among several, not the assumed destination. It carries switching cost and disruption that have to be worth paying.
Execution is checked against the record.
The Baseline is what every step is measured against.
