Abstract: A framework for determining best in class pricing achievement for negotiated deals and underlying products and services is disclosed. An enterprise, such as a financial institution, may develop a list of industry standard pricing metrics for use when benchmarking or comparing similar products and services. The enterprise and competitive analysis firms may apply the scoring metrics to analyze negotiated deals and establish benchmarks of the deals to reach best in class. The deals may be reached using both internal and external analyses, and a deal score and executive summary template may be delivered to the enterprise at request.

Abstract: Systems and methods for competitive pricing analysis are provided. An interactive pricing analysis template may be presented to at a user at a display device, and information describing a negotiated deal involving the purchase of a set of components may be received at the template from the user. The template may be presented to another user at another display device, and a standard pricing metric and best-in-class offer may be received from that user for each component. A component score may be automatically calculated for each component based, at least in part, on the best-in-class offer and a pricing analysis framework. A composite score for the negotiated deal may also be automatically calculated based, at least in part, on the pricing analysis framework. The template may include, for each component, input elements that respectively receive the standard pricing metric, the best-in-class offer, a proposed offer, and a quantity.

Abstract: A system and method that generates a graphical representation and allows the comparison between: 1) a set of contract or deal business requirements; 2) a contract or deal proposed by a vendor; and 3) a contract or deal that currently exists as viewed in the present time. The relative comparisons may be completed on key areas of the contract where key business requirements (KBRs) and metrics have been uniquely defined, targeted, and weighed. The set of contract or deal business requirements may also be defined as a Target Contract or a desired contract state. The contract or deal proposed by the vendor may be as defined as a Proposal Contract or a potential contract state. The contract or deal that currently exists may be defined as an Existing Contract or a current contract state.
