Many companies can optimise their licence costs by analysing which licences are actually being used and which may be unused or underused. For example, many companies unknowingly have too many licences for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/en\/migrating-google-workspace-to-microsoft-365\/\">Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace<\/a>. Retain only licences that are actually used and thus avoid over-licensing. Many companies can make significant savings without affecting workplace operations by cancelling unused licences.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb67777 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fb67777\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Using open source software<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23dfe7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23dfe7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Besides evaluating current usage, considering open source software is an effective way to cut costs. Open source software often offers the same functionality at its core as commercial software, but without the associated licence fees.<\/p>\n<p>One example is the replacement of expensive F5 Virtual Load Balancers with an open source variant, which resulted in annual savings of \u20ac5,000 in licence fees, in addition to lower maintenance costs and a more stable environment. Using open source alternatives such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/en\/switching-from-vmware-to-proxmox\/\">migrating to Proxmox<\/a> instead of VMWare can offer similar benefits. As a result, companies save both money and other resources.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b833eb7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b833eb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Bundling and negotiating<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d12ee4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d12ee4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Licence bundling can be another effective strategy for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/en\/save-on-your-it-costs-with-cloud360\/\">saving on IT-costs<\/a>. Some software vendors offer discounts when you purchase multiple licences or products as a bundle. It is therefore smart to investigate which licences can be bundled.<\/p>\n<p>At Cloud360, we map an organisation&#8217;s overall needs and then negotiate with vendors for bundle options with the best value for money. In our experience, negotiations with software vendors regularly lead to better terms and\/or prices. Suppliers, for example, are often willing to give discounts if you sign a long-term contract or buy a large number of licences. This can lead to hefty savings in both the short and long term.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1aeb7fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1aeb7fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ed-hardie-xG02JzIBf7o-unsplash.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1689\" alt=\"Microsoft 365 op smartphone\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ed-hardie-xG02JzIBf7o-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ed-hardie-xG02JzIBf7o-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cloud360.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ed-hardie-xG02JzIBf7o-unsplash-550x366.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7868809 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7868809\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Switching to cloud services<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae9f03c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae9f03c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Moving to cloud-based software or Software as a Service (SaaS) can also bring significant savings.
