Your IT budget grows — and no one quite knows why
SaaS subscriptions taken out and forgotten. Licences paid for users who left. Contracts auto-renewed for three years without renegotiation. Cloud resources provisioned generously and never right-sized.
This is not carelessness — it is the consequence of a budget built by accumulation, without a regular audit. The invisible cost: tens of thousands of euros creating no value, and a management team that cannot justify IT spending to the board.
The real problem is not spending too much — it is not knowing what you spend or why.
What you get
The visibility you do not yet have
- Comprehensive software and hardware inventory — nothing overlooked or underestimated
- Unused licences, duplicate SaaS subscriptions and oversized resources identified
- TCO calculated per spending line — to compare solutions with different economic models on equal footing
Immediate savings
- Subscriptions cancelled and licences freed within the first weeks of the audit
- Contracts renegotiated or put back out to tender — you have rarely negotiated from a position of strength
- Redundant tools consolidated, reducing both cost and complexity
A budget that is structured and defensible
- IT budget built on real data, tracked monthly, adjusted at the right time
- Spending dashboards readable by general management
- Reporting that says what it costs, what it delivers, and what to stop
Savings reinvested — not evaporated
- Under-funded areas identified where investment is missing: security, backup, monitoring
- Savings freed up finance projects that create real value
- Documented ROI for every arbitration decision
Cloud and SaaS governance
- Cloud resource rightsizing: you pay for what you actually consume
- SaaS subscription centralisation and traceability — no more shadow subscriptions
- FinOps: teams made accountable for their cloud usage
What this means in practice
- 15 to 30% average savings on audited spending areas
- First weeks: quick wins on licences and subscriptions
- 3 to 6 months: structural savings on contracts and assets
- €0 of value destroyed: nothing cut without prior impact analysis
