Today’s business is often stretched thin with the rising cost of data and the constant internal pressure to drive efficiency while reducing overall enterprise subscriptions spend. Optimize Spend provides a single repository of all subscriptions, and automates many previously resource intensive processes. Our clients realize annual cost savings ranging from 2%-30%.
Many firms struggle to streamline and bring transparency & control to their enterprise subscriptions. Our inventory system provides a central platform to store information about all your vendor relationships, product information, contractual terms, a catalogue of services used by each employee for cost allocation, full audit trail, and more.
Many financial institutions, law firms, and professional services firms – large and small – struggle to understand and control the contracts, billing and expenses for their enterprise subscriptions. Our spend management platform Optimize Spend solves this problem.
In today’s subscription economy, firms consume a broad range of services in order to meet their complex business needs. Many of these firms still rely on complex spreadsheets or other tools supporting manual processes to manage their subscriptions.
By automating inventory management across the range of subscription services, firms can eliminate these manual systems and save time, money and resources.
Automating inventory control allows firms to analyze existing costs and predict upcoming spend relating to information and subscription services consumed across the enterprise. This in turn supports accurate reporting of usage and cost data to your users, financial controllers and auditors.
It allows you to deliver on cost transparency, and manage risk and compliance. Finally, this approach supports supplier negotiations with evidence-based intelligence, helping to optimize contract renewals.
Employees come and go at every firm. Also, users may be too busy to indicate that they no longer need services that were previously important to their role. Understanding the services and users governed by the contracts equips managers to make informed decisions about each contract and know when it’s time to negotiate with the vendor.
A “single view” solution proactively and electronically polls the user community about current service requirements, facilitating cost containment and reduction. This alleviates the data manager from expending valuable time pursuing each user and leaves more time to examine the “big picture”.
A single view of costs & expenses also allows to accurately allocate costs across users, departments, etc. to truly understand profitability.
As regulators and auditors push for more accurate reporting and vendor contract compliance, seeing the “big picture” without a consolidated view of enterprise subscriptions is a challenge.
Enterprise spend management can be made more efficient through data consolidation, intelligent automation and processes such as managed services. As regulators and auditors look for increased transparency into business operations, automated solutions also provide a much-needed audit trail.
With a central system for enterprise inventory & cost management, firms often see a reduction in costs from 2 to 30%. Savings are achieved through cutting annual duplicate service fees as well as reduced headcount toward invoice processing, contract management, reporting, and more.
