This white paper is structured for two readers: the senior decision-maker who needs the executive summary in five minutes, and the practitioner who is about to enter a negotiation or optimization cycle and needs the full toolkit. The first ten pages stand alone for executives; the remainder is operational.
What you'll find
- Channel-by-channel ROI comparison: direct, Private Offer, CPPO, standard Marketplace, and reseller
- EDP credit eligibility matrix for every Marketplace transaction type
- Private Offer redline checklist — discount, term, renewal, exit, and audit clauses
- CPPO margin benchmarks by partner tier and deal size
- SaaS commitment treatment under the latest AWS EDP terms
- ISV negotiation script — six conversations with the ISV, AWS, and the reseller
- Procurement governance framework — approval thresholds and segregation of duties
- Appendix A — annotated sample $4M three-year private offer redlines
- Appendix B — channel selection decision tree with worked examples
How to apply it
The framework is most leverageable 3 to 9 months ahead of a contract or commitment decision — new EDP, renewal, major service-tier shift, or significant architecture change. If you are already inside an active cycle, the appendix material is the highest-value section: the worked examples, redlines, and decision-tree templates are designed to be lifted directly into your own engagement.
If you would like a second-opinion review of your specific situation before applying the framework, we offer one-hour strategy calls at no charge for in-flight enterprise negotiations. Contact us with your context and we will respond within one business day.
