As AI, regulatory pressure, and identity sprawl reshape the cybersecurity landscape, a global managed IT services provider needed to know whether its portfolio was keeping pace. HEX Advisory Group delivered a six-workstream market study — benchmarking nine competitors, quantifying AI productivity gains, and designing outcome-linked commercial constructs to sharpen IAM and Cloud Security positioning.
When aggressive competitor pricing put every RFP bid at risk, a global IT services provider turned to HEX Advisory Group to find out whether the gap was a pricing problem or a capability problem. By benchmarking productivity assumptions across five service towers against real market deals, HEX delivered a defensible, maturity-driven framework — in just 8–10 weeks.
Benchmarking is one of procurement's most manually intensive activities — and one of the most fragile. In a joint pilot, HEX Advisory Group and Rivio tested how agentic AI can transform this process: not by computing benchmarks faster, but by making data benchmarkable — improving input quality, enforcing structure, and accelerating preparation while keeping human judgment at the center.
