Grip on licences and software costs

Insight, control and return on investment - many organisations lack this when it comes to software. The software and licence form should match the strategic business objectives, but you don't want to pay too much. How do you get a grip on this?

Balancing cost and value

The costs for software licenses and support can account for up to 30% of the IT budget annually. Many organizations lack full visibility into their license usage due to a lack of the right data and tools. As a result, license agreements are extended without considering the most suitable options, leading to unnecessary costs. Additionally, organizations are constantly changing due to growth, downsizing, or acquisitions, and are expected to anticipate fluctuations in employee numbers (e.g., temporary staff) and varying needs arising from modern hybrid work environments.

Software vendors are also constantly evolving. They develop new features, licensing models, and support contracts, which adds even more complexity. How do you maintain an overview, ensure that licenses adapt to all these developments, retain control, and maximize the return on software investments?

PQR offers independent expertise and tools to continuously align your software licenses with your needs, providing you with insights into your investments and ensuring you get the maximum return. Our software experts make sure you never overpay for your software.

Dynamics and compliance

Organizations have large numbers of suppliers and licenses with different renewal dates. Additionally, there are frequent changes in the market, such as acquisitions of software vendors. This requires organizations to plan ahead to make the right decisions, renew on time and under the right conditions, or switch vendors when necessary.

The dynamics and complexity of software contracts with various software vendors require specialized knowledge from your employees. Most organizations struggle to provide an accurate overview of software costs and current usage for financial reporting or in the event of an audit by a software vendor.
