Frequently asked

Will you sign NDAs with vendors?

We work under your paper; separate NDAs are handled by your legal team.

What if savings are smaller than hoped?

We report transparently; some savings arrive in later fiscal years after migrations.

Do you manage invoices?

No. We provide decision support; accounts payable remains with your finance team.

Experience notes

“Atlas surfaced three overlapping contract renewals we could phase instead of renewing blindly.”
