Effective Vendor Management by Mynd Solutions





Mynd understands that while making payments efficiently, cost-effectively and accurately are pivotal to every well-managed account payables function in the organization; simultaneously Supplier and Vendor’s satisfaction is measured by the ease of process offered in handling invoices and turnaround time for payment. Keeping the above concept in mind, our accounts payable service offering aims at striking a balance between process optimization and supplier satisfaction.

Organizations that have been in business operations for some duration of time are often completely occupied with several service providers and vendors facilitating their functions. Of the many vendors that service Global companies, some might be strategic however the majority are largely utilizing for executing routing tasks only. 

Irrespective of the number of vendors being on a lower side or even in larger organizations having multiple vendors numbering in the hundreds; the entire process of managing vendors is essentially a laborious and costly affair. The time-consuming process of managing multiple vendors leads to wastage of manpower resources, which might have been allocated to more strategically useful processes. 

A huge amount of leadership time and energy is wasted in the quest to manage multiple providers, thus deviating the attention from core focus areas including- management of overall infrastructure and operations of the organization. It is a well-known fact that as the vendors associated with a firm increase, in the same order the challenges associated with managing them grow. 

Mis-management often leads to Loss in Value Chain. Ill-managed vendor  relationships  create  increased expenses along with inadequacies in operations. The primary reasons for loss in value chain due to mis-managed vendors include:

  • The vendor’s service delivery is effected over some time and is not as per customer’s needs
  • No competition between vendors
  • There is a lack of partnership for innovation across the different provider types and relationships

Migration to the "Cloud Model"!


Mynd has adopted the cloud technology for all hosted applications and completely migrated to enterprise cloud model with a disaster recovery site in place. This becomes a success story at industry levels of all verticals. The Mynd applications that customers are accessing today for their day-to-day process are now placed in cloud.

Cloud computing is simply a new way of looking at and talking about virtual setup. More precisely, instead of having a software application running in a server room, the application runs in a datacenter. And, this datacenter doesn't need to be within or near the office premises. In fact, you may not even know where the datacenter is!

Cloud computing is actually just a new name for an old idea. In fact, since the last few years we are using cloud. E.g. our personal e-mails (Yahoo, Google etc..), our online access to Bank Accounts …Then what’s the difference? The difference is in terms of offered services & the technology used in the cloud. All cloud infrastructure runs in virtualization and majorly, three different services are offered by any leading cloud service provider.

  • Ø  IaaS           :           Infrastructure as a Service
  • Ø  SaaS          :           Software as a Service
  • Ø  PaaS          :           Platform as a Service.



  • ·      Limitless Scalability: With the expansion of Business, add-on infrastructure resources are always on high demand. Resources can increase in on-a-fly.
  • ·        Physical & Virtual Security: Data centers are quite robust as compared to your local server room.
  • ·        High Density Power: No need to worry for prolonged power-cuts, run out of diesel for your generator.
  • ·     Broad Connectivity Choice: Multiple internet service providers with unlimited bandwidth.
  • ·         Low Cloud cost: Pay as per use concept and optimal cost as compared to your high operational cost.


Challenges for adopting new technologies

  • ·      Seamless migration of customer application & database within SLA i.e. “No application down time” objective. You can't afford a downtime beyond SLA, as signed & agreed with the customer.
  • ·         Configuration Dependencies: As the new setup is with different architecture. The new setup is under virtualization with redundancy at all levels and hence the application configurations as well as offered SaaS services were typically a challenged one.
  • ·         No Data Loss during migration. This involves the migration of huge customer data from old setup to new setup and goes live within the SLA without any data loss for almost 150+ odd customers.


How is Mynd Placed today?

·     The entire infrastructure is in Enterprise Public Cloud with SIFY, a TIER III standard data center with IaaS, SaaS & PaaS services with primary data center located at Mumbai and disaster recovery data center located at Bangalore; which are in two different seismic zones.
  •         Redundancy (Fail over) at each level i.e. Application, Router, Firewall, SAN & ISP.
  • ·         A world class service with uptime SLA of 99.95%.
  • ·         3A Service i.e. Access from Anywhere at Anytime.
  • ·         Disaster site i.e. data is safe with RPO & RTO of 30 mins & 2 Hr. respectively.
  • ·         BCP plan with the start of operation in less than one day.
  • ·       Hosted service with low cost (including DR). Almost 30% saving on monthly recurring cost. 
  •         No congestion, no bandwidth issue i.e. hassle free access even with heavy load (month end)
  • ·         Compliance service as per ISO 27001 & SSAE 16.
