Corporate United
Announces
Four Category Renegotiations
Corporate
United has worked diligently over the past
quarter to create new agreements with select
suppliers. The decision to renegotiate
agreements with CentiMark, Grand & Toy,
InterCall and Mayflower and United Van Lines
was based upon solicitation of member
feedback, a comprehensive analysis to help
deliver a "best-in-class" offering and
leveraging our competitive market data to
benchmark against others.
 Roofing
Agreement
with CentiMark
Corporate United is offering a newly
enhanced roofing option geared towards
members who are looking for more
comprehensive roofing project management
support. This new roofing program "upgrade"
option includes more benefits and features
than the basic agreement through Corporate
United, such as:
-
Greater budget
transparency through competitive market
analysis and contractor comparison
breakdowns
-
A more comprehensive
online tool to manage the status of all
roof conditions
-
Inspections, bids, and
warranties across member locations
-
Dedicated implementation
support to ensure that all member
locations achieve the program benefits.
Furthermore, Corporate
United members who choose to commit to this
new program will achieve preferred status
with CentiMark, which allows them to take
advantage of additional pricing discounts
and more flexible payment terms. We invite
you to learn more about this new program
option as your capital roofing projects
commence in 2010.
 Canadian

As with all our suppliers, Corporate United
will work with Grand & Toy to ensure
adherence to terms and conditions of the
agreement and pricing and service level
accuracy.
 Conferencing
Agreement
with InterCall
The new audio, video and web conferencing
agreement with InterCall offers Corporate
United members market-leading pricing, an
impressive specialty product list, and some
of the best service levels in the industry.
Along with negotiating more
aggressive pricing, Corporate United worked
with InterCall to add new products and
services to the contract. New products
include:
-
Unified Meeting Tools: a
collection of services including
Connect2Meeting, mobile assistant,
Outlook® integration, and office
communicator integration among others

solution that empowers organizations to
easily capture, automatically
distribute, and collaboratively manage
meeting information and action items
online in real-time

presentations
Through the Corporate United
agreement, InterCall guarantees a billing
service level of 97% accuracy on all
invoicing. The contract now includes an
additional discount tier that will further
improve the group discount. In addition to
the already-superior pricing, the contract
features a price review clause; InterCall
will review your purchase volume annually
and adjust tiered volume pricing to reflect
it accordingly.
With these and other
impressive service level agreements, and
with our leveraged position in the market,
our InterCall agreement represents a great
opportunity for all members.

Van Lines
