Lack of overview of licences and costs
Both managers and IT/finance departments need an overview and cost control of licences. Until now, this has been very time-consuming.
Most organisations today use a wide range of SaaS and cloud services. The benefits are obvious: flexibility, rapid scaling and high availability. But when costs are spread across multiple suppliers and different internal budgets, management loses the overview.
The problems
- Licences are purchased without coordination.
- Unused and overlapping licences are accumulated.
- Costs are entered manually in Excel and are not very transparent.
The consequence is often that the IT and finance departments can't explain why costs are increasing or where they actually arise.
How Otheo solves it
Otheo collects all IT and licence costs in a common SaaS inventory, regardless of supplier. Through automatic cost allocation, expenses are precisely allocated to departments, projects or individual users. This provides a real-time overview, clear responsibility and better management information.
Value for the business
- Full transparency in the cost picture.
- Quick identification of unused or misallocated licences.
- More accurate decisions in the budget process.
