With over 100,000 seats and a complex ecosystem of more than 500 external vendors, Allianz Group partnered with Appstrato on a strategic initiative to optimize software spending (Cost Take-out) and enhance their ITAM and FinOps frameworks. The engagement began with a SAM value assessment to establish a baseline, followed by a detailed gap analysis to uncover inefficiencies and identify cost take-out (CTO) opportunities. These efforts culminated in a 15% reduction in annual software expenditures, with the most significant savings achieved in Microsoft, Adobe, and VMware costs.
