The Challenge

When we onboard a new client, we look for ways to do IT better and cheaper. A full review uncovered significant waste:

• Overpaying for services with no vendor negotiation or review
• Cloud storage and backup costs far higher than necessary
• Microsoft licenses that didn't match actual headcount

Our Solution

We reviewed every vendor, subscription, and service as part of our managed IT onboarding:

• Vendor management to replace an overpriced provider with a significantly cheaper alternative
• Cloud optimisation to adjust storage and backup, saving over $350 per month
• License audit to align Microsoft subscriptions to actual headcount, saving over $80 per month

The Outcome

The savings we found more than covered the cost of managing their IT:

• Over $430 per month in savings identified and implemented
• Managed IT fees effectively covered by the cost reductions we found
• Ongoing vendor oversight to ensure they never overpay again
