Reasons to Rationalize

Waste is everywhere — here's why it's time to rationalize

Five video conferencing tools. Eleven endpoint security titles. Ten PDF authoring apps. Sound familiar?

Every tool has a budget owner, a renewal date, and an internal advocate. Killing them takes data, sequencing, and an outside perspective that isn't trying to sell more software.

  • CFO pressure on software spend IT has been asked to find waste — and the answer needs to be quantified, not anecdotal.
  • Upcoming renewal anchor A major Microsoft, Adobe, or Cisco renewal is the natural decision point to consolidate around or away from the renewing vendor.
  • Post-acquisition tool sprawl Two estates merged. Tool stacks doubled. No one's done the rationalization work yet.
  • Consolidation mandate from leadership "Fewer vendors" is the directive. IT needs a defensible plan to deliver on it.
What You Walk Away With

Three deliverables. One executive readout.

Every engagement delivers the same core artifacts, set up to your estate.

On-prem application inventory categorized by commercial status and function

On-Prem Application Inventory

Every application running across your estate, categorized by commercial status and functionality. Discovered by the Block 64 platform — no manual inventory required from your team.

SaaS application inventory with unified visibility across the estate

SaaS Application Inventory

SaaS applications captured through Block 64's 18+ integrations, categorized the same way as your on-prem stack. The view your finance team has been asking for.

Prioritized consolidation roadmap with cost-optimization recommendations

Consolidation Roadmap

Prioritized recommendations for what to keep, consolidate, retire, or renegotiate — with the rationale behind each call. Built by Block 64 analysts using a five-tactic cost-management framework.

Scope the project

We start with a conversation — what's the challenge, what data exists, and what does a useful outcome look like.

Review existing data

Before we deploy anything, we look at what you already have — purchase history, contracts, existing inventory.

Deploy Block 64

We bring our platform into your environment to capture what manual processes and existing tools have missed.

Conduct analysis

Our analysts dig into the data — licenses, SaaS, cloud, entitlements, vulnerabilities — and build a clear picture.

Deliver insights

You get findings with specific recommendations. Your 12-month Block 64 platform subscription stays active — so the visibility continues.

* Timelines vary by engagement scope. Most are completed within 30 days.
