Vendor Consolidation
The problem: too many Software tools, too little oversight
Enterprise organisations use hundreds to thousands of Software tools. Many overlap in functionality, some have been purchased by departments outside IT, and some essentially do the same as what you already have. This costs money and time and leads to compliance risks.
Under DORA and NIS2, moreover, more and more organisations are expected to have an overview of their Software vendors and manage the associated 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 decide together which Software vendors stay, which go, and how to make the transition without business risk.
Our working method
From full overview to fewer Software vendors and better terms.

Overlap and risk
Which tools do the same work and which Software vendors pose risks.
- 03
Selection and negotiation
Together deciding which Software vendors remain and securing better terms from them.
- 04
Transition
Phasing out together with your IT team or implementation partner, without business risk.
Frequently asked questions
How much can I save with consolidation?
An average of 8–20% saving on Software costs, plus significant savings on operational overhead.
Does SoftVaro also implement tools?
Our role is advisory and executive. We assist with phase-out and migration plans. We do not carry out 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; the execution remains with your internal teams.
Every collaboration starts with one request.
A quote for your renewal or a new Software need. Or a review of a quote you already have. From your first request, you work with the same approach as our existing Enterprise clients: a dedicated contact, a response within 24 hours, and the full commitment of our network. Confidential and under NDA.
