Artificial Intelligence Procurement Intelligence

Pricing and cost analysis is a process that helps organizations derive and forecast the real cost of products or services over a specified period of time. This analysis takes into account every cost component, and also gives a competitive advantage when negotiating with suppliers by helping organizations understand the true cost of goods and services. Additionally, the outcome of pricing and cost analysis can help procurement leaders understand the detailed cost drivers in a particular category.

In this artificial intelligence procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of major cost components. Data processing & management, hardware, labor, and software form the biggest cost component of artificial intelligence implementation. Further, the cost is dependent on the type of data available, the complexity of problem being solved. For example, in developing an AI-based solution, prototype development cost start from USD 25,000 onwards. Maintenance costs upwards of USD 320,000. The costs of software are from USD 30,000 to USD 50,000. The annual skilled labor costs can be at least USD 320,000. Thus, the average costs for custom AI solutions come up to around USD 500,000.

Rate Benchmarking

When procuring a package of products or subscribing to services, every business and their procurement staff look forward to getting the best deal possible. Rate benchmarking involves comparing the prices/costs of multiple sets of products/services to determine the best combination that can potentially assist the procurement team in obtaining the best rate.

The geographical location and nature of the firm are critical factors in examining rate benchmarking in the artificial intelligence category. For instance, artificial intelligence services in the U.S. are typically costlier than services in India. For example, in U.S the average rate of a lead developer is the highest starting from USD 85 - USD 125 per hour, as compared to India which is around USD 32 - USD 65 per hour. This is due to a number of factors, including the availability of skilled labor, and the regulatory environment. The cost of AI services changes based on the size of the project. For example, a small business that is simply looking to implement an AI-based solution will likely pay less than a large enterprise that is looking to build a complex AI-based platform. Prices vary depending on the complexity of the artificial intelligence application. As an example, a basic application may cost between USD 900 - USD 5,000 whereas a highly complex application may cost from USD 150,000 - 300,000.
