ALEPH VENTURES

Most IT firms earn more when you spend more.

We go the other way. Reviewing what you're actually paying — and telling you what to stop paying for — is part of the engagement, not a separate product we sell you.

$195,000

A year. That's what we found one client was paying for things they didn't need.

Not a one-off audit run as a sales pitch. An ongoing part of how we run an account, because the waste doesn't appear all at once — it accumulates quietly, month after month, while everyone assumes someone else is watching the bills.

Where it hides in facilities like yours

Licences nobody uses
High turnover plus nobody owning deprovisioning means you pay for seats belonging to people who left, sometimes for years. We've seen accounts where fewer than half the purchased licences were assigned to anyone at all.
The wrong tier
Enterprise plans bought for everyone when most staff need the standard one. It's a line item nobody revisits after the day it was signed.
Carrier and mobile billing
Lines still active for former employees, personal lines mixed into the business account, and rates nobody has re-quoted in years. In multi-site operations this is frequently the single largest recoverable number.
Overlapping tools
Two products doing the same job, because two different people bought them at two different times and neither knew about the other.
Auto-renewals
Vendor contracts that have rolled over untouched since signature, at rates that were competitive when they were signed and aren't now.

Including our own fees

If you're paying us for something you don't need, we'll tell you that too. It's an easy promise to make and an uncomfortable one to keep, which is exactly why it's worth putting in writing.
