Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, but for most organizations, budgets are not keeping up. Demands to implement AI and other emerging tools have put IT leaders in a bind: How can we fund innovation without increasing spend?  

The answer may be right in front of you. A recent survey revealed that 41% of respondents saw an increase in wasted SaaS spend in 2024, while 37% reported growing inefficiencies in IaaS/PaaS.¹ The key to breaking this cycle lies in a robust IT Portfolio Management (ITPM) strategy—not just to cut waste, but to reinvest strategically in high-impact innovations that drive business growth. 

Our latest SoftwareOne study identifies a select group of “Optimized Innovators”—organizations that prioritize cost optimization nearly four times more than their peers (97% vs. 24%). These forward-thinking companies take a value-driven approach to IT investments, unlocking benefits such as:  

Faster time-to-value from IT investments 
Higher profitability through optimized operations 
Improved ROI on technology spending  
Greater business agility and market responsiveness 
Enhanced resilience and adaptability

Most importantly, this approach enables organizations to drive continuous improvements—without massive upfront investments or operational disruptions. 

At SoftwareOne, we help organizations unlock maximum value from their IT investments through tailored ITPM services. Whether you need software license savings, advanced reporting visibility, or an expert ITAM managed service provider, we have the expertise you can depend on.
