ParticipantMy 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.

ParticipantI definitely wouldn’t chose 3 different KPAs, I would add more. Like Project Management, Financial Management, because getting projects accomplished accurately as well as making sure that you are following financial budgets/guidelines are also super important.
