Vendor 360: Scoring Vendor Health Across Your Portfolio
How MI One's Vendor 360 brings contracts, entitlements, deployments, budgets and files together per vendor, and how the vendor health score flags where to act.
By the MI Solutions SAM team8 min read2 exhibits
Most software questions are really vendor questions: what do we have with them, are we using it, what does it cost, and when does it renew? Vendor 360 in MI One answers all of them on one page per vendor, and a health score tells you which relationships need attention first.
What drives the health score
Exhibit 1
The portfolio at a glance
Sorting vendors by health turns a long vendor list into a short action list:
Exhibit 2
What each band usually means
01Healthy (70+)
Well used, no near-term renewal pressure, no compliance gap. Review quarterly.
02Watch (40–69)
One signal is moving: a renewal coming, or utilization slipping. Plan the next step.
03Critical (below 40)
Renewal close with low use, or more deployed than owned. Act now.
What is on the page
01Contracts, entitlements, deployments and budgets
Everything you have with the vendor, and what it costs.
02Files
Order forms, amendments and proof of entitlement.
03Vendor updates
Price changes, product news and notes.
04Knowledge profile and technical knowledge
How the vendor licenses, who the contacts are, and anything your team should know.
