“Hi Greg, as you’re very aware, we
need to reduce costs throughout the
organization by 15%.
I’ve reviewed every aspect of the
business and focused on the IT
Budget, especially the Software
Spend.
I’ve prioritized on our top 3 vendors
by spend, and I want you to show
me now how you’re going to reduce
our spend by more than 15% over
the next 3 months.”

13. CTO Scenario Summary
Before Flexera
• Guesswork
• Projects out of control – licensing is usually retroactive or as a
last thought
• Production problems lead to new license cost
Since Flexera
• Simulation allows to model future use cases with available
licenses
• No Guesswork
• Tactical Use cases & live access to expert information

14. “Hi Greg, the new Telemarketing
team has been given the go-ahead!
We need to get the new
office set up for over 200 new
employees ASAP.
We’re transferring from other
divisions and hiring new FTEs.
We need to run four new desktop
applications which some users
need. I do have a rough plan,
but it depends on the end mix of
staff.
IT and Desktops are ready in the
next 6 weeks, can you ensure we
can deploy the right applications
to the right people?”

18. “Hi Greg, I’ve just had a very uncomfortable
meeting with our new Account Director at
MegaSoftwareVendor. He said, due to our
recent acquisition of CleverIP Ltd and our
new operation in Ireland that we’re out of
compliance. I asked him what the potential
impact is… he told me its over £3 million.
Can this be true?
What is our compliance position? Do we
need to get our top auditors back in here?
You need to get this sorted and the
information I need on my desk by Friday,
without fail!!!”
