Continually evolving end user and customer demands are driving exponential growth in software and cloud adoption, however according to industry reports, over 33% of spend is now being wasted.
With vendors offering an ever larger range of contract, licensing, and pricing options, it is easy to see why complexity and spend are spiralling. You need to be prepared for unexpected vendor audits, major contract renewals, and regular licensing true-ups. It has never been more important to understand your current licensing position, ensuring you are keeping your estate and costs optimised, and have the advantage in negotiations with vendors and service providers.

Are you overpaying for your software licensing?
First, our expert team will meet with key stakeholders in your team to define the scope and desired outcomes for the service. Our analysts will then review your current contracts, entitlements, inventory, and usage for a defined number of vendors to produce Effective License Positions (ELPs) highlighting any financial risks that need to be mitigated and cost savings opportunities that may exist.
In our report and executive presentation we also include a set of additional optimisation recommendations and a prioritised action plan. Optimised Licence Positions (OLPs) can be created in-line with contract renewals to allow maximum benefit to any recommended cost opportunities, or provided on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance and optimisation.
