Battling the Tech Vendors: Optimising Licence Spend and Avoiding Audit Risk

What's this research about?


As software and cloud expenditure continues to grow, fuelled by an increasingly digital landscape, SAM services can leverage optimisation to avoid unnecessary cost and risk while driving deeper value from investments in services.

This peer-led research study seeks to open a dialogue between IT and finance leaders to explore how enterprises manage software consumption within their cost optimisation discipline in an ever-increasing cloud landscape.

The research, sponsored by Livingstone Group, will feature the views and insights from 12 industry leaders regarding the challenges they face managing their software assets: are their companies able to plan for and mitigate risk, reduce costs, protect themselves from unbudgeted software exposure, improve their governance, optimise their licences, or prepare for vendor audits?

TechPros.io will publish a Market View Publication containing insights from the interviews in March 2023.
