What software savings do you expect to uncover with your ITAM program?

[Lindsey Obrien]

I have not set this goal yet. I believe to start, 20% sounds realistic but could see this being higher the more we look into it.

[Rebecca Casey]

License recovery to be reused.

[Angela Pesnilyan]

35%

[Annatjie van]

n/a

[Michael Boudreau]

We uncover tens to hundreds of thousands in savings with our negotiations, license management, and auditing activities.

[Joshua Chen]

20-40% annually

[Naomi Diaz]

roughly 20% depending on the company’s posture and changes.

[David White]

Mostly about reducing risk during an audit. Those could be substantial.

[Valerie Runci]

I would expect to uncover savings by economies of scale. Instead of individuals buying one license, we could group the purchases across the organization and purchase at a group rate or enterprise level. Getting auto renewals or late payments under control will help with waste. Holding vendors accountable to agreements will also increase savings and eliminate waste.

[Michael Powell]

A well-structured ITAM program can uncover significant software savings by eliminating unused or redundant licenses, ensuring compliance to avoid penalties, and negotiating better vendor contracts. Through effective license management and usage tracking, I would aim to reduce software overspending, optimize subscriptions, and align purchases with actual business needs.

[Lori Gunn]

Duplicate purchases or purchasing too much. Possibly purchasing software that does not work as well as another software that could work better.

[Jason La Fond]

this is handled by a separate team in my organization

[Jessie Qi]

I’d like to continue to do discovery and look at license usage, by identifying and eliminating unused or underutilized software licenses, so we can help the organization avoid unnecessary renewals and purchases. This can lead to software savings, the savings can vary based on the maturity of the ITAM program and the specific practices implemented.

[Angelin Ioan]

we expect to stop over purchasing, and through inventory management discover licenses that can be harvested for redeployment

[Tumu Trueh]

I would expect to see 15 to 20% in annually.
