Overview

The Challenge

Before partnering with ValueCore, Lenovo’s team relied on spreadsheets and manual calculations to demonstrate value. Each team member told the story slightly differently, leading to inconsistency across markets and sales cycles.

“We could talk about value,” said Cal Stephenson, Senior Manager, Digital Workplace Solutions at Lenovo, “but the storytelling and quantification were different depending on who was telling it. As we scaled, that inconsistency became a real challenge.”

Scaling globally only amplified the problem. Lenovo needed a single, reliable tool that could support teams across languages, time zones, and business units, all while maintaining the same high-quality customer conversations.

The Solution

Lenovo chose ValueCore for its responsiveness, collaborative approach, and ability to bring automation to complex value calculations.

“The ability to get very granular in our calculations while automatically converting outputs into presentations was huge for us,” said Stephenson. “We wanted to save time while staying flexible. ValueCore made that possible.”

Lenovo’s rollout was smooth and fast. ValueCore preloaded their environment, enabling quick onboarding and adoption. Early “super users” led by example, helping fast followers ramp quickly.

“ValueCore’s responsiveness made it easy from day one,” Stephenson noted.

Key capabilities Lenovo leveraged:

  • Granular, customizable value modeling
  • Automated PowerPoint integration for customer-ready outputs
  • Scalable templates ensuring message consistency across teams

The value we’ve seen since rollout has been tremendous. It’s helped us scale globally, drive productivity, and close more business. I can’t even imagine how many hours we’ve saved as a team

The Results

The impact was measurable and impactful:

  • $1B+ in total contract value identified through the ValueCore platform
  • $100M+ in closed business directly supported
  • Significant time savings in producing customer-ready materials
  • Higher close rates on opportunities using ValueCore calculators

The Future 

Looking ahead, Lenovo sees the partnership as strategic, especially as artificial intelligence becomes a larger part of value quantification.

“We’re excited about what’s next,” said Stephenson. “AI is still early, but there’s so much potential in how it can help us communicate value even more effectively. ValueCore keeps innovating with us, it’s truly a joint success story.”
