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

[Wendie Balzano]

un used licenses

[Alamin Ahmed]

at the moment it is hard to tell. but we should target the big spend vendors.

[Beverley Riley]

There is no budget for how much we must save, the objective is to save where we can and implement the saving. Ultimately, wasteful expenditure must be identified and avoided.

[Doug Berglund]

At this time we can not determine that due to our organization being spun off from our parent company. I do however see us refining our costs and having a much clearer understanding of what those cost are for our hardware and software assets.

[Calysta Smiley]

My goal is to have a better understanding of all software that our company utilizes. I’d like to be able to gain the knowledge of what software is used for what, and how to manage renewals/contracts in a timely manner. If I can gain a better understanding of which programs do what, then I could see if we are paying for any duplicates, or possibly have something similar that we already pay for. This is how we will cut costs over time.

[Patrick Pate]

Mostly in software compliance. Would also submit that there is a cost of avoidance that I expect to achieve as well (i.e. if we do nothing, software will cost ‘x’)

[Milton Crawford]

Not sure at this time.

[Madhavi Poosala]

A lot many

[Roy Bonilla]

At least 20-25%

[Jennifer Fedyszyn]

We need to continue discovery and reconciling data in our IT Asset Management tool before we can get to the step of realizing savings. We have had small wins in that area, but I’d expect 10-25% once our data is correct.

Identifying Underutilized Licenses. By tracking software usage, I can identify licenses that are not being fully utilized or are redundant. This can lead to renegotiating or eliminating unnecessary licenses.
