Or perhaps it ’ s a case of ‘ Do we have a contract with them ? How often is that potentially going to change ? Is the contract being used as a kind of ad hoc purchase ?’ All of these questions create a tremendous amount of complexity – and complexity can often mean more work . That ’ s why having model-driven recommendations can help cut through the noise .
