Vendor Consolidation
The problem: too many Software tools, too little overview
Enterprise organisations use hundreds to thousands of Software tools. Many overlap in functionality, some are purchased outside of IT departments, and some basically 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 insight into their Software vendors and control the risks.
Our approach: strategic reduction
Vendor consolidation at SoftVaro doesn’t start with "what can go". It begins by mapping out your Software landscape. Only then do we jointly decide which Software vendors stay, which go, and how to make the transition without business risk.
Our process
From full overview to fewer Software vendors and improved terms.

Phasing out together with your IT team or implementation partner, without business risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save with consolidation?
On average 8–20% savings in Software costs, plus significant operational overhead reduction.
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 that, 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 overlap lies.
