Comparison of actual usage with the inventory of purchased SaaS products (apps and online services).
Which licenses are no longer needed
For which licenses fewer units can be purchased
Who consumes which licenses (e.g., by country, location and/ordepartment)
Indicators where the license mix most likely does not match actual usage
Indicators of products that may have been procured unofficially (maverick buying)
Immediate savings opportunities, identification of unused economies of scale, and likely optimization potential in the license mix.
Based on the measured data and identified indications, targeted deep dives can be conducted, ensuring customers don’t end up buying a pig in a poke.
Usage behavior vs. license types
Verification of whether expensive licenses are actually being used or whether there is potential for cost savings or reallocation by measuring the usage of license-type-specific UI elements.
Tracing of maverick buying
Identification of multiple contracts or accounts for the same software in use.
True-UpForecasting
Control and early planning of true-up costs/relicensing, for example in cost-intensive CAD tools, by measuring the relevant data points.
