Maximizing the Value of Your Technology Investments

As businesses aim to improve the customer experience and also run more smoothly, they’re turning to software solutions that supercharge their digital transformation. But here’s the kicker: According to the Flexera 2023 State of ITAM Report, a whopping 32 percent of SaaS spending goes down the drain in a typical IT environment. For many of our clients, the issue boils down to the lack of a clear view of how their assets are being used. And guess what? That lack of visibility means they’re missing out on the full tech goodness they could be enjoying.

Delivering US$1.7 million in annual savings by consolidating 236 contracts

Let me tell you a customer story. A large financial services company operated with 236 separate contacts for a range of Cisco technologies. These contracts had been executed independently by 20 different business units operating across 18 countries, each using its own budget.

But NTT came in, did some serious digging, and realized something huge. By bringing all these contracts under a single Cisco Enterprise Agreement, NTT could save the company a cool US$1.7 million every year. And that’s not all—the headaches of managing multiple licenses with random end dates would disappear. It’s like NTT tidied up the whole space and made sure everything was running super smoothly.
