Reduce IT costs: software licenses, cloud and telecommunications
We renegotiate your IT contracts – from software licenses through cloud and SaaS to your mobile framework agreement. Analysed with AI support, negotiated by experts, 100 % success-based.
Why IT costs grow faster than your business
In many companies, software, cloud and telecommunications are the fastest-growing cost block in indirect procurement. The cause is rarely greater value, but contracts and pricing models:
- Vendors regularly raise their list prices and push subscription and cloud models.
- Licenses are not adjusted to usage: license tiers that are too high, licenses for former employees, unused modules.
- Cloud costs run without control: usage-based billing without suitable discount agreements.
- SaaS sprawl: departments book their own tools, contracts renew automatically.
- Mobile and fixed-line services run on legacy contracts, with unused cards and connections.
Which IT costs we optimise
Software licenses
e.g. Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Adobe: license tiers, unused licenses, contract model, renewal terms
Cloud and data centre
e.g. Azure, AWS, Google Cloud: discount agreements, commitments, billing models
SaaS applications
consolidation, user numbers, terms, automatic renewals
Telecommunications and mobile
framework agreements, tariffs, inventory of cards and connections, data lines
Hardware and IT services
purchase and leasing terms, maintenance, hourly rates, managed services
Six levers for lasting IT cost reduction
Align the license inventory with usage
We compare licenses, license tiers and modules with actual usage. Whatever nobody needs is cancelled or downgraded.
Negotiate renewals early and with a market comparison
The biggest lever lies before contract renewal. We start in good time and negotiate with solid comparison values instead of under time pressure.
Structure cloud contracts to match consumption
We align commitments, reservations and discount agreements with actual consumption – not with wishful scenarios.
Consolidate SaaS
We identify duplicate tools, bundle users and synchronise terms. This creates negotiating leverage instead of scattered spend.
Renegotiate telecommunications
Review the inventory, cancel unused cards and connections, renegotiate tariffs and the framework agreement.
Question maintenance and support
We check whether the scope and prices of maintenance match the value delivered and include alternatives such as third-party support in the negotiation.
A procurement perspective instead of an IT project
Most approaches to IT cost reduction are technical projects: migration, consolidation, new tools. That costs time and ties up your IT. We start with the contract – with prices, terms and durations. Your system landscape stays as it is.
How your IT project works
Initial call and documents
You provide contracts, current invoices and license overviews. Your effort: a few hours.
AI-supported analysis
We analyse contracts, usage and prices and compare them with benchmarks.
Negotiation by experts
We negotiate where the price is set – with the vendor, reseller or provider depending on the contract model. Coordinated with your IT.
Implementation and control
The new terms are fixed contractually. We check that they actually appear on your invoices.
You only pay a share of the savings realised – no fixed costs, cash-positive from day one.

renegotiate.ioFrequently asked questions about IT cost reduction
Do we have to change or migrate systems for this?
No. We start with contracts and terms. Your system landscape stays unchanged. Where sensible, we recommend adjustments to license tiers – the decision is yours.
When is the best time to negotiate?
Six to twelve months before a major contract renewal the scope is greatest. Ongoing contracts can also be optimised, for example by cleaning up the inventory or when expanding.
Do you also negotiate with large software vendors?
Yes. We negotiate where the price is set – directly with the vendor or with your reseller or provider, depending on the contract model.
How much effort does this create for our IT?
Little: you provide contracts, invoices and license overviews and name a contact person. We handle analysis, benchmarking and negotiation.
What does the IT cost check cost?
Nothing. Savify works 100 % success-based: we receive a share of the savings realised. Without savings there are no costs for you.
