Vendor Consolidation
The problem: too many Software tools, too little overview
Enterprise organisations use hundreds to thousands of Software tools. Many of these overlap in functionality, some have been purchased by departments outside IT, and some essentially do the same as what you already have. This costs money and time and leads to compliance risks.
Under DORA and NIS2, more and more organisations are expected to have visibility of their Software vendors and manage the risks.
Our approach: strategic reduction
Vendor consolidation at SoftVaro does not start with "what can go". It begins with mapping your Software landscape. Only then do we decide together which Software vendors remain, which are removed, and how you make the transition without business risk.

Frequently asked questions
How much can I save with consolidation?
On average 8–20% savings on Software costs, plus substantial savings on operational overhead.
Does SoftVaro also implement tools?
Our role is advisory and operational. We assist with phase-out and migration plans. We do not perform technical migrations between tools ourselves; for this we collaborate with your IT team or an implementation partner.
How does SoftVaro involve users in the decisions?
Support is crucial: consolidation without stakeholder involvement fails. We guide the communication; execution remains with your internal teams.
Do you know how many Software vendors you have?
We map your Software landscape and show where the overlaps are.
