As an enablement leader, I know that a key component of any program is using the right technology to drive success. Trying to figure out what’s already in use somewhere in the organization can be like finding a needle in a haystack. It can be even more difficult to know what the best tool is for the project at hand. That’s where BuyerCaddy comes in.

BuyerCaddy gives me a clear view of all the tools in use across the organization and shows me how that stacks up with similar companies. That helps us avoid tech stack bloat, allows us to move fast by leveraging existing tools vs. new implementations, and, of course, avoids unnecessary costs. It’s a game-changer!

FAQs

  1. Alignment: visibility to current tools across all teams
  2. Reduce friction: clarity for what tools are used where in the business and why
  3. Accelerate Roll Out: speed up program roll out and adoption by leveraging existing tools vs. going through a new purchase
  4. Identify gaps: understand where there are gaps and lack of technology
  5. Savings: reduce risk and cost of duplicative tools
  • Steering Committee: Bring together a cross-functional group to get all of your technology cards on the table.  This should involve internal customers, administrators, and facilitators of your tech stack like IT business systems, operations, program management, enablement, sales and services leadership, and of course users. Try to keep your crew to about a dozen and identify roles for everyone involved, especially the role of a committee driver to keep momentum.
  • Gather User Feedback: Next, you’ll want to hear from your end users.  One way to gather that is by an anonymous survey to increase the likelihood of candid feedback.  Ask questions about the most / least used tools, favorite tools, challenging tools, and wish list. “Ride alongs” or shadowing are also great ways to understand what the team is using.  
  • Data, Data, Data: In addition to anecdotal input, you’ll want to gather objective data from the tools you are using today. Most tools in your tech stack will have a way to run reports to show usage, adoption, and activity to help you determine utilization.  Your vendor success manager can also assist here.
  • Renewals: Last but not least, you’ll want to capture contractual data on the tools in your tech stack.  This should include the tool, owner, renewal date, seat count, term, and cost.

The key here is making it an active resource for your business.  Identify an owner, share it across the organization, leverage it in your software decision-making process, and add or remove tools needed. This will require discipline but will help you maintain momentum toward attaining those benefits previously mentioned.

  1. License management: BuyerCaddy provides software asset managers with a centralized dashboard to manage software licenses across multiple vendors and applications. It helps ensure that software licenses are up-to-date and compliant with licensing terms, minimizing the risk of license non-compliance and associated costs.
  2. Contract management: The platform allows software asset managers to track software contracts and agreements, including key contract terms such as renewal dates, pricing, and service level agreements. This can help ensure that software purchases align with business needs and budget constraints.
  3. Spend management: BuyerCaddy enables software asset managers to monitor software spend across the organization, providing insights into software usage and identifying opportunities to optimize licensing and maintenance costs. It helps identify underutilized or unnecessary licenses, reducing software costs.
  4. Security and compliance: BuyerCaddy provides visibility into software vulnerabilities and license non-compliance risks, helping software asset managers prioritize and address security and compliance issues. The platform offers continuous software inventory tracking, ensuring that unauthorized or unapproved software is not installed on company devices.

The frequency of inventory depends on the size of the organization, the number of software assets, and the rate of change in the technology environment. However, it is generally recommended that software asset managers inventory their software assets at least once every quarter or every six months.

Regular inventory updates can help software asset managers:

  1. Identify new software: As software gets added to the organization’s environment, it can be difficult to keep track of all new installations. Regular inventory updates can help software asset managers identify new software and ensure that it is properly licensed and approved.
  2. Track software usage: Software asset managers can use inventory data to track software usage and identify any underutilized or unused software licenses that can be eliminated or reassigned, reducing software spend.
  3. Monitor software compliance: By conducting regular inventory updates, software asset managers can ensure that all software is properly licensed and compliant with vendor agreements. This helps prevent license non-compliance issues that can result in costly fines and legal penalties.
  4. Optimize software costs: Regular inventory updates can help software asset managers optimize software costs by identifying opportunities to consolidate licenses, renegotiate contracts, or leverage volume discounts.
