SaaS License Optimization Assessment
Helping enterprises reduce cost by reclaiming and right-sizing licenses across large user-based SaaS estates.
Cost Reduction for Large User-Based SaaS Estates
An estimated 30 percent of user-based SaaS fees paid by enterprises go to unused licenses or features. This wasted "toxic spend" strains IT budgets, and vendors often make it difficult to keep licenses optimized.
One way to eliminate SaaS toxic spend is to periodically perform a license optimization assessment of your large SaaS implementations – it always reveals material, easy cost reduction opportunities.
NPI performs turnkey SaaS License Optimization Assessments for the following user-based SaaS products and more:
NPI Identifies Specific, Actionable Savings Opportunities
NPI’s SaaS License Optimization Assessment is a proven, painless, and fast way to cut large enterprise SaaS costs. Using standard inputs from your existing applications and tools, NPI performs a detailed analysis to identify specific, actionable cost-reduction opportunities in two categories:
RIGHT-SIZE LICENSE ASSIGNMENTS
Optimize cost by assigning the best-match license type to each user based on task, role, and utilization.
NPI performs deep-dive analysis into actual usage to quantify the financial benefit of rightsizing the license type for each user. The guidance NPI provides enables you to rapidly switch individual users to more cost-effective license assignments.
LIBERATE LICENSE CURRENCY
Liberate inactive licenses for redeployment (vs. additional license purchase) and reduce true-up/renewal demand.
We apply multiple filters to actual usage data to identify licenses that can be reclaimed including inactive users, multiple licenses assigned to a single user, ex-employee and ex-contractor users, “no-pulse” users (e.g. printers, conference rooms), and more.

Don’t leave IT budget on the table. NPI finds opportunities for right-sizing or reclamation in 100% of SaaS License Optimization Assessments performed for large enterprise clients.
When Should SaaS License Optimization Assessments Be Performed?
NPI recommends that License Optimization Assessments occur at least once a year for large enterprises that experience a lot of human capital change. They are particularly important as SaaS renewals approach – establishing an accurate, optimized usage baseline as input for demand definition for the renewal agreement is critical for cost control.
