Chase Cost Management Execs Deliver Spend-Management Strategies at SLA Conference

NEW YORK, June 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Chase Cost Management executives Robyn Rebollo and Nicole Dupras will present the session "Centralizing and Benchmarking Fee-Based Information Resources" at the 2017 Special Libraries Association (SLA) annual conference in Phoenix on Sunday, June 18 at 9:00 a.m. to help information professionals better manage expenses, including research subscriptions. Chase Cost Management (CCM) helps law firms and corporations improve library services with tools and strategies for spend management and cost reduction.

"Our presentation gives information professionals and librarians the techniques to expertly manage their information center and library spend," says Dupras, manager of Legal Research Consulting for CCM. "Analyzing contracts and user costs are just a couple of the things that subscribers of research need to look at to arrive at the best deal."

At CCM, Dupras oversees the review and optimization of what clients spend on legal information resources. She also negotiates with vendors and reviews contract on behalf of CCM's clients. Dupras is president of the New York chapter of SLA. 

"A key challenge for information pros is uncovering savings on indirect spending without disrupting business," says Rebollo, CCM's vice president. "Smart spend-management practices recover money that employers can use to fund priorities or investments. It takes equal parts due diligence and experience to stay on top of costs."

Rebollo's expertise with library administration and information technologies includes work in North America and Australia. She has also designed, developed and implemented information and knowledge solutions for corporations, law firms and universities.

Some of the tips Rebollo and Dupras offer attendees for negotiating better terms on research subscriptions include:  Analyzing and comparing metrics for specific users versus overall research sessions; identifying usage that might not appear in standard reports; pinpointing which departments continuously access a research product; and comparing the terms of use for current contracts alongside earlier versions.
