TOOL OPTIMIZATION & RATIONALIZATION

Cut the Clutter with Enterprise Tool Optimization

From redundant systems to duplicate licenses, most tech stacks are more complex than they need to be, and far less effective. We help you eliminate bloat, streamline your tools, and align your stack to how your teams work.

YOUR STACK, BUT SMARTER

Turn Your Tools Into an Advantage

Most organizations overspend on tools they barely use, underutilize the ones that matter, and struggle to connect anything across teams. Our Tool Optimization & Rationalization service helps you take control, eliminating redundancy, aligning platforms to your processes, and making your stack work like it should.

When systems sprawl, your costs go up and your visibility disappears. Our work with clients like this U.S. government agency and global media companies shows how unmanaged tech ecosystems slow delivery, create shadow IT, and drain budgets. According to McKinsey, tech complexity is one of the top contributors to wasted spend in enterprise IT.

Tool sprawl doesn’t just cost money. It creates data silos, inconsistent workflows, and a frustrating user experience that makes work harder than it has to be.

Drowning in Tools

You’re paying for way more than you use.

Nothing Talks to Each Other

Your tools can’t connect, so your teams can’t either.

License Costs Keep Climbing

You're burning budget on systems no one's logging into.

Leadership’s Flying Blind Without Accurate Info

No clear way to see what’s going on, or what’s worth funding.

Everyone’s Hacking Their Own Tech Stack

Shadow IT is creeping in everywhere.

It’s a Full-Time Job to Get Anything Done

Switching tools, losing context, and repeating work.

CUT OUT THE NOISE

Make Your Tech Work Like It Should

Tool Optimization under the VISTA Technology pillar is about more than cutting costs. It’s about aligning your entire tool ecosystem to the way your teams work.

We take a tool-agnostic approach, assessing your entire environment: from Atlassian and Apptio to homegrown apps and middleware. Then we help you consolidate platforms, streamline licenses, and configure tools around real workflows and outcomes.

Strategic Rationalization

Redundancies, overlaps, legacy systems—we cut the dead weight and streamline your stack around actual business needs.

Process-First Configuration

We don’t force tools to fit. We configure them around how your teams work in practice, not how a vendor says they should.

We give you a clear picture of usage, cost, and value. No more blind renewals or wasted seats.

Improved Visibility

A connected, simplified toolset gives leadership real-time clarity and faster access to the data that matters.

What’s the difference between tool optimization and tool rationalization?

Tool optimization is about improving how you configure and use your current tools. Rationalization is about deciding which tools should stay, go, or be replaced entirely.

How do I know if I need this service?

If you have duplicate tools doing the same job, struggle to get accurate reporting, or you feel like you're always chasing down licenses or dealing with shadow IT, you probably need it.

Is this only for large enterprises?

Nope. While it’s especially valuable for complex environments, companies of all sizes benefit from aligning tools with how they work.

Is this just about saving money?

Cost savings are a big win, but this is really about speed, clarity, and removing the blockers that slow your teams down.
