152: How to Identify Software Savings Without Relying on Price Reductions w/ Mohammed Faridy

Software has always been one of those categories where on the surface, cost savings appear hard to find. Often the vast majority of spend is with software industry giants over whom the majority of procurement teams have little negotiating leverage.

In today's show, I focus on how to identify savings opportunities across your entire portfolio of software suppliers. And when I say cost savings, I don't mean relying on getting a better rate, but partnering with IT to look more holistically across your entire software category spend.

My guest to take us on this journey is Mohammed Faridy, the CEO of OneView, a contract management tool. I met Mohammed through a mutual acquaintance, and Mohammed is also an experienced technology sourcing consultant and practitioner.
