How to Rationalize Software to Achieve Significant Cost Savings

Especially for organizations using data-driven strategies, such as software rationalization, to realize greater returns on investment (ROI) and IT cost savings. By digging deep into the data to identify unused or underutilized apps, organizations can save up to thousands — or even millions — in unnecessary software expenditures.

As the IT operations manager at a financial institution expressed, “Every time we went to the business to ask if we could reduce licenses, all they said was ‘We’re always using the software. We’re not going to reduce licenses.” Once the team implemented digital experience management, however, they uncovered that many of the licenses were in fact going unused.
