Spring has (finally) sprung and it’s the perfect time for new beginnings. What better way to kick-start your spring cleaning by not only sprucing up your home, but your software assets too.
As IT professionals, we often hear questions like: ‘Why is software so complex?’ and ‘do we really need all this software?’. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the constant updates, costs and choices that surround an IT estate. But the good news is optimising your software doesn’t need to be a burden— we can help.
Here’s some information to help guide the reorganisation of your IT estates that may prove to be more useful than an old feather duster:
Review and assess
It’s important to start by conducting a comprehensive review of your current software inventory. By identifying unused or under-utilised licenses, you can effectively evaluate the value each individual piece of software brings to your organisation.
Optimise and rationalise
Removing redundant applications and consolidating software licenses will help to optimise your entire software portfolio. This will make it easier to identify opportunities for more cost-effective solutions without compromising on performance.
Budget and forecast
Through aligning software spending with your strategic goals, you can create a transparent budget that accounts for renewals, upgrades and potential investments in new technologies.
Stay informed
It’s crucial to stay informed about any industry trends and software updates that could impact your organisation. By regularly reviewing your software agreements, you can ensure complete compliance with vendor guidelines and leverage negotiation opportunities.
