Where IT Spend Actually Leaks
The waste is rarely in one big line item. It is spread across small things nobody owns, which is exactly why it survives budget reviews.
- 01Licences for staff who left, or tiers nobody uses. Almost every audit we run finds these
- 02Overlapping tools: two backup products, three file-sharing services, a video platform nobody adopted
- 03Auto-renewed contracts that were competitive when signed and are not now
- 04Hardware kept past the point where support time costs more than replacement
- 05Cloud resources spun up for a project that ended, still running and still billing
