Challenge

A rapidly growing optical retailer required a partner to manage the expanding complexity of their telecom environment. As the organization grew to over 1,300 stores across five brands, unmanaged vendor spend and data fragmentation became a significant financial risk.

Results

Since 2007, the BAZ-National Vision partnership has evolved from contract negotiation to total technology management. This 16-year collaboration has resulted in over $18 Million in annualized savings and the successful management of nationwide technology rollouts.
