Vendor Information Asset Management
Staying on top of vendor offerings, license costs, SLAs, support and maintenance fees, leasing and buying options is much easier if you have fewer vendors. And keeping costs for licenses and on-going support and maintenance to a dull roar is only possible if you spend money only when and where it needs to be spent.
