This service provides a forensic analysis of your organization’s data technology expenditures and architectural efficiency. It identifies redundant vendor contracts, underutilized licenses, and legacy systems that increase maintenance costs without delivering business value.

Organizations often accumulate significant technical debt and software waste as they scale. Internal teams may lack the objectivity or authority to address these inefficiencies. This engagement delivers a detailed assessment of where capital is being misallocated and provides a clear plan for cost recovery and system optimization.

Scope of Work:

Vendor & License Analysis: A systematic review of all data-related software contracts and license usage to identify redundancies, unused seats, and unfavorable renewal terms. (Previous engagements have identified over $2M in annual overspending).

Technical Debt Mapping: An assessment of the current data architecture to identify outdated or redundant systems that increase maintenance overhead. Includes a step-by-step retirement plan to reduce operational costs.

Resource Allocation Review: An evaluation of how data team resources are distributed between high-value strategic work and low-value maintenance tasks.

Cost Recovery Roadmap: A prioritized executive report detailing specific actions to reduce immediate costs, retire legacy systems, and improve long-term operational margins.

Target Audience:

CFOs, CEOs, and COOs of scaling companies who suspect their data spend is inefficient but lack the internal bandwidth to conduct a forensic audit.

Leadership teams preparing for budget reviews or seeking to optimize operational margins before further investment.

Pricing: Fees range from $7,000 to $12,000, determined by the size of the organization, the complexity of the existing technology stack, and the volume of vendor contracts requiring review. Please contact me directly to discuss your specific requirements for a custom quote.
