Cost Reduction

Licence costs for proprietary software are among the most predictable and most avoidable expenses in IT. Per-seat fees for platforms like Microsoft 365, Adobe Creative Cloud, or Salesforce add up quickly, and they never stop growing. Every new hire increases the bill, and every renewal carries the risk of a price increase. You have no leverage to change the terms. Open source eliminates this model entirely.

We help you quantify what your company is actually spending on proprietary licences, including the indirect costs that often go unaccounted: integration fees, premium add-ons, training for vendor-specific workflows, and the time spent managing licence agreements. Once the full picture is visible, the case for change becomes considerably easier to make.

Our approach goes beyond simple cost comparison. We build a total cost of ownership analysis that accounts for the transition itself, including consulting, setup, and the learning curve, alongside the long-term savings. In most cases, the break-even point comes faster than expected, and the savings compound year after year as licence renewals disappear from the budget.

The result is a business case your finance team and leadership can work with: specific numbers, realistic timelines, and a clear picture of where the savings come from. Whether you are looking to reduce costs across the board or targeting a specific vendor relationship, we help you understand the financial impact and make decisions grounded in data.
