Cost of living price rises, energy bills, lay-offs, inflation – the list of challenges goes on.
Down-sizing headcount results in redundant software licenses and SaaS agreements.
And as a result finance and procurement are faced with being locked into contracts for software that is un-used or under-utilized.
As SaaS and cloud service agreements are often complex, finance teams will naturally focus on the larger deals with enterprise vendors such as microsoft, google and amazonaws. These contracts can deliver significant savings but are often not directly aligned to headcount.
So what about the long tail of SaaS tools used everyday across the business for marketing, sales, customer service, operations, finance, HR and a host of other functions?
These tools are typically purchased at operational level and costs relate directly to the number of users requiring access.
With fewer staff, a business logically needs to check it has the right number of subscription licenses by analyzing both spend and usage data. This information can be time consuming for finance and requires close collaboration with IT to identify which apps are used and by who.
If this sounds familiar, we can help.
