Economical
Finance sees cost paths and alternatives – comprehensible and reproducible.
CHAOS — understand run-rate before budget and renewal force the issue.
From the field
Scenario
Finance sees rising Microsoft run-rate, but drivers sit in add-ons, true-ups, and oversized bundles. Controllers want defensible scenarios before they release budget.
Why (evidence layer)
Cost levers are not only counted—they are explained: which cohort, which usage profile, and which alternative would be more expensive or riskier. Savings are tied to risk trade-offs, not blunt downgrades.
Before/after in EUR per month (run-rate). Annual savings = difference × 12. Figures reflect typical mid-market profiles consolidated from completed optimisation programmes (anonymised, rounded); your organisation will differ by inventory and governance.
