IT cost optimisation
I find specific places where IT spend can be reduced without losing quality. Licences, cloud, contracts, duplicate tools — I come back with numbers, not generic advice.
Get in touchWhen it fits
IT costs grow year-on-year
A new licence or service is added each year. Nobody checks whether it's still needed.
Your cloud invoice is a mystery
AWS or Azure generates hundreds of line items. It's unclear what you actually use vs. just pay for.
You have duplicate tools
Different teams use different tools for the same job — this happens naturally in growing companies.
Contracts are outdated
Rates from when contracts were signed have never been renegotiated. The market has moved.

Frequently asked questions about this service
Depends on the starting point. In companies where IT costs have not been actively managed for 3–5 years, potential is often 15–30%. In tightly managed companies less — but we usually find something.
Yes, that's the basis of the analysis. I treat them as confidential. If sensitive commercial terms are involved, vendor names can be anonymised.
That's usually the goal. I give you a concrete potential — then you decide what to realise internally and where you need help.
