Optimize IT Costs

Achieve financial transparency

Before optimization can begin, achieving transparency over your IT assets and associated costs is essential. Many IT organizations struggle with fragmented data sources, inconsistent information and reliance on Excel spreadsheets for demand planning, budgeting and service cost calculations.

Additionally, the inability to show or charge back costs to their originators further complicates financial management. The rapid rise in cloud usage exacerbates these issues.

To tackle these challenges, it's crucial to leverage software tools that deliver comprehensive visibility and automate planning, forecasting and cost allocation processes. We are here to help.

Visibility is the first step

You can’t optimize IT costs without clear, complete insight into your assets and spending.

Data silos hurt planning

Fragmented systems and manual tools like Excel make demand planning and budgeting harder.

Cloud adds pressure

Rising cloud usage makes it even tougher to track, manage and explain IT costs.

Automation simplifies

Smart tools help you plan, forecast and allocate IT costs with less effort and more accuracy.

Optimize cloud spend

Companies are projected to spend $720 billion on cloud services in 2025. This enormous growth often leads to risks like misjudging future costs, wasting cloud resources, neglecting ROI and facing governance challenges. Cloud costs tend to rise steadily, while business outcomes struggle to keep pace.

To tackle these issues, businesses need better multi-cloud visibility, governance, automation, skills and deep hyperscaler expertise.

Reduce software spend

Enterprises spend billions each year on on-premises software and SaaS, yet over half of these resources go unused—leading to significant waste. This happens for two main reasons: First, existing license entitlements and SaaS subscriptions are often overlooked when employees request new software. Second, expensive licenses and subscriptions are purchased when more affordable options would suffice.

To reduce software waste, you need tools that track actual usage and existing entitlements, helping you make data-driven decisions for future software sourcing.

USU provides the tools and services to help you do just that.

Too much software goes unused

Over half of enterprise software, both on-premises and SaaS, is paid for but not used.

Duplicate software requests add cost

Employees often request new software without checking what's already licensed.

Cheaper options get overlooked

Companies sometimes buy pricey tools when more affordable ones would do the job.

Usage data cuts waste

Tracking usage and entitlements helps reduce spend and improve software sourcing.
