About two years ago I saw first-hand how software expenses can stack up at a fast growing startup. When that Series A money hits everyone has a new idea & new tool that is, in their eyes, critical.
People leave...the software stays & everyone forgets or people just stop using software but don't stop the billing.
A few months ago I had the opportunity to work with a great company, Spendflo. They're focused on helping startups & growing businesses save on their software spend.
We put together a five-step plan to control software spending:
Step 1: Take inventory
Step 2: Evaluate usage and employee sentiment
Step 3: Identify duplicates
Step 4: Negotiate with data
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4
Check out this blog post over on Spendflo's site for all of the tips behind each step above. Your bottom line will thank you!
