Renewal-window briefing · 30 minutes
Before You Sign Your Next MFT Renewal
A 30-minute working session for IT and security leaders inside a renewal window. You leave with a four-question evaluation worksheet. The questions are vendor-agnostic — including us.
No demo. The worksheet is yours regardless of outcome.
The renewal-window asymmetry
Switching costs at renewal are roughly half what they are mid-contract. Most teams don't use that window, because the renewal is on the procurement calendar, not the strategy calendar — by the time architecture comes up, the decision has already been administratively made.
This briefing uses the renewal window as a strategy moment. We walk through four questions worth asking your incumbent before you re-sign. The questions apply to any MFT vendor — including us — and the worksheet you leave with is designed for your incumbent conversation, not ours.
The four renewal questions
Credential architecture
What's your roadmap to eliminate persistent credentials from your platform, and when does it ship?
Evidence pack
For our specific compliance frame, what's your evidence-pack output, how long does it take to produce, and what questions does it not yet answer?
Migration tooling
If we wanted to leave your platform in 18 months, what's your migration tooling, what's the actual cost, and who at your firm would I call?
Three-year architecture
What's your authenticated-architecture path for the next three years, and where does file exchange sit relative to identity, audit, and compliance evolution?
The three outcomes
The pattern across your incumbent's four answers usually maps to one of three outcomes.
A clean renewal
Three or four strong answers — you re-sign with evidence instead of habit, and you know exactly why.
A negotiation
A few gaps you take back to your incumbent as specific, dated commitments before you put your name on the renewal.
An evaluation
Enough unanswered that the renewal is the moment to look at alternatives — while switching costs are at their lowest.
What you leave with
The artifact is yours to use regardless of whether you ever work with us.
- A four-question evaluation worksheet, vendor-agnostic.
- A structured read on which of the three outcomes your renewal points to.
- Questions designed for your incumbent conversation — not ours.
Who runs it
Run by MnemoShare's Chief Product Officer and product team. The worksheet is vendor-agnostic on purpose — the four questions apply to us as much as to your incumbent.
