Benjamin Front

Benchmarking Specialist

Ben Front | Technology Procurement Advisor

Ben Front spent 20 years inside the technology industry — first selling enterprise solutions for companies like CDW, then flipping to the other side of the table as a procurement executive. That combination is rare, and it's exactly what makes him effective.

His most recent corporate role was Head of Strategic Sourcing at Alliant Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in the country, where he renegotiated a nine-figure annual technology budget down by 50% — a cumulative impact approaching half a billion dollars over six years.

Today, Ben works directly with small and mid-sized businesses to help them pay less for the technology they already use — and make smarter decisions about what they buy next.

The engagement model is straightforward: compensation comes from documented savings. If there's nothing to save, there's nothing to pay.

If your technology spend is growing faster than your business, Ben can help.

Why Procurement Outsourcing Needs a Revolution

The Problem:
Technology contracts are riddled with complexity, hidden costs, and vendor opacity. Enterprises routinely overpay, miss renewal traps, and lack visibility into fair market terms.
The Opportunity:
Procurement outsourcing—when done right—unlocks:

•     💰 Cost Savings: Eliminate overspend and uncover hidden inefficiencies
•     🛡️ Risk Mitigation: Navigate licensing, compliance, and vendor risk with confidence
•     ⚡ Speed & Scale: Accelerate sourcing cycles and scale across IT categories
•     📊 Market Intelligence: Leverage real-time data to benchmark pricing and terms
