ITAM and Licence Optimisation Services

Unlock Efficiency, Reduce Waste, and Maximise Value

Reclaim control of your Software Spend with Trustmarque’s Licence Optimisation Services

In today’s complex IT environments, organisations face mounting pressure to optimise software spend, streamline licensing, and ensure every pound delivers measurable value. Trustmarque’s IT Asset Management (ITAM) and licence optimisation services are designed to help public sector bodies and enterprises navigate this challenge with confidence.

Whether you're grappling with multiple vendor contracts, underutilised licences, or the need to meet budget reduction targets, our optimisation solutions deliver clarity, control, and cost savings.

Overview

Why Licence Optimisation Matters

Public sector organisations face new expectations to achieve 2% savings on back-office costs, making software spend a key target for improvement. In the corporate sector, increasing operational costs and tighter IT budgets mean optimising licences, strengthening contract governance, and controlling cloud investments are more important than ever.

Our proven optimisation framework combines intelligent tooling with expert consultancy to deliver measurable savings and operational clarity. Whether you're managing Microsoft 365, Azure, Copilot, or multi-vendor SaaS and on-prem licences, our services, Prism, Contract Intelligence, and FinOps, empower you to make smarter, data-driven decisions.

  • Complex Contracts: Multiple software agreements across departments often lead to duplication and overspend.
  • Service Disruption Risks: Fear of interrupting services can result in unnecessary renewals.
  • Resource Constraints: Limited internal capacity makes it difficult to analyse and optimise software usage.
