Technology Cost Optimization
A cross-portfolio review that finds redundant services, outdated pricing, and consolidation opportunities.
Overview
Technology costs accumulate in layers: a circuit here, a license there, a contract that renewed at last year's rate. A cost optimization engagement looks across the full portfolio to find what can be eliminated, consolidated, or renegotiated without reducing capability.
Common challenges
- Overlapping services purchased by different teams
- Legacy services still billing after being replaced
- Pricing that has not been benchmarked in years
- Limited time for internal teams to review every contract
