Building on the license analysis and license consulting, we review the feasibility of potential savings from both a technological and a commercial perspective.

License optimization and contract optimization focus on the following questions:

  • Do you know your contracts and possible alternatives?
  • Have you made any company acquisitions or divestments in the past? 
  • Do you have an overview of your current software usage?
  • Do you know the contract and licensing models of the manufacturers?
  • What is your strategy for the future?

Your advantages of a professional software license and contract optimization:

Transparency

Transparency in Software Licensing and Software Usage in the context of audits

Security

Avoidance of misprocurement and overlicensing and thus also security in legal matters

Cost savings

Efficient cost savings due to the possibility of procurement planning and possibility of standardization

Efficiency

Reuse free licenses and reduce training, helpdesk, and administration efforts

We are very satisfied with the license optimization of the TIMETOACT GROUP. Due to the competent and open consultation we were able to save 25.000 € in license costs compared to the offers of our existing partners and to improve our purchasing in the long run. The customized license model is exactly aligned to our requirements and strategic goals.
