Master Your Software Strategy & Cut Costs

Managing enterprise software relationships is a constant challenge. Major software publishers like Oracle, SAP, Microsoft and IBM use complex contracts, aggressive sales tactics and vendor lock-in strategies to maximize their profits—often at your expense.

Without a clear strategy, businesses risk:

  • Overpaying for Software – Perpetual contracts lock in high costs for decades.
  • Confusing & Unfavorable Terms – Hidden clauses and complex licensing structures limit flexibility.
  • Inevitable Audits – Publishers use audits as a sales tactic to force additional purchases.
  • Vendor Lock-In – Publishers push cloud migrations, upgrades, and integrations to keep you dependent on their ecosystem.
