How a law firm saved 20% on IT software costs monthly by reducing software bloat

A study by Flexera shows that 36% of software that businesses pay for is wasted or not used enough. This was true for the law firm, especially with their Microsoft 365 licenses.

Higher-tier licenses, costing almost $20 more per month than necessary, were assigned to many employees who did not use all the features.

We performed a full check of their software use. We looked at each software license and found ways to save money.

We confirmed with the firm’s staff to see if they used all the features of their software. Then, we suggested switching to lower-tier licenses where possible.

By changing 20 employees to lower-tier licenses, we cut their IT software costs by hundreds of dollars each month.

The law firm's IT software costs dropped by over 20%, freeing up capital for other important business expenses like marketing, payroll, and advertising.

Reducing software bloat is easy and can save a lot of money. By checking your software licenses and optimizing them according to actual usage, you can see similar savings.
