SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION & TECHNOLOGY COST REVIEW

Know what each tool earns before the next renewal.

Software costs grow quietly. Teams add tools to solve immediate problems, then keep paying after the workflow changes. A useful review looks beyond the subscription price to understand usage, overlap, dependencies, and the cost of changing anything.

I help small and midsize businesses decide what to keep, consolidate, replace, or retire.

What the review covers

We inventory the tools in scope, who uses them, what work they support, and how they connect to other systems. Renewal timing, unused capabilities, duplicate functions, data access, and maintenance needs inform the recommendations.

What you receive

A software inventory with ownership, purpose, cost, and renewal information where available.
A map of overlapping functions and important dependencies.
Keep, consolidate, replace, or retire recommendations with reasons.
A transition sequence for approved changes, where included.
A cost comparison that makes assumptions and one-time effort visible.

Lower subscription cost is only one part of the decision.

A less expensive tool may require more support or create manual work. A custom system may fit well but still need maintenance. Data migration, reliability, training, and ownership belong in the comparison alongside the monthly price.

Example: two tools that appear to do the same thing

Before removing one, identify the workflows, data, integrations, and users that depend on it. The recommendation should explain whether those needs can move safely, what the transition requires, and who will own the replacement process.

This is an illustrative review approach, not a claim of guaranteed savings.

What your team provides

A list of subscriptions, recent invoices or costs, renewal details where available, and access to people who know how the tools are used. Credentials are handled through an agreed access process rather than collected in a public inquiry form.

How success is agreed

You receive an actionable decision record with costs, dependencies, risks, and next steps. Realized savings are measured after approved changes take effect and should account for transition and ongoing support costs.

Practical questions

Will you cancel subscriptions for us?

The review identifies recommended changes. Cancellations, migrations, and implementation require a separate agreed scope and the appropriate account authority.

Will you recommend custom software?

Only where the fit and total cost support it. Keeping an existing product may be the better decision.

Can we review only part of the stack?

Yes. A team, workflow, or group of upcoming renewals can provide a focused starting point.
