All 30 Documented Cases
Vendor License Audit Non-Compliance and Financial Exposure
Estimated AUD $100,000–$500,000 per audit remediation (enterprise); IBM audits average AUD $150,000–$300,000 in true-up costs; compliance violations carry statutory penalties under Australian Consumer Law (ACCC jurisdiction)Organizations lack visibility into their software footprint due to license complexity, shadow IT, and manual processes. Vendor audits (particularly IBM, Oracle, SAP) reveal non-compliance with deployment exceeding purchased licenses. Remediation requires purchasing additional licenses at inflated rates, plus potential contractual penalties.
Overspend on Unused and Redundant Software Licenses
AUD $200,000–$800,000 annually (enterprise); 30% cost reduction typically achievable through optimization; 20–30% of annual enterprise IT budget spent on software (average AUD $1–3 million for mid-large enterprises)Without active license management, organizations renew licenses based on historical purchases rather than actual usage. Invictus Partners data shows 93% of clients identify cost-saving opportunities through usage analysis. Typical enterprise software budgets allocate 20–30% of IT spend to licensing; without optimization, this translates to significant waste.
Unbilled Storage Capacity
2-5% revenue leakage; e.g., AUD 59,400-148,500 on AUD 2.97B marketIn elastic billing models for storage capacity provisioning, providers charge per GB stored per hour/month. Failure to provision and bill accurately results in revenue leakage from undetected overages or idle capacity.
Data Recovery Capacity Bottlenecks
AUD 10,000-20,000 per week in lost billable capacity (est. 40-80 hours team downtime at AUD 250/hr)Manual recovery phases divert resources from billable services, creating bottlenecks and lost sales opportunities.
