Most PE and M&A firms accumulate software organically. A new analyst brings their preferred tool. A deal team signs up for a trial that never gets cancelled. A portfolio company integration adds three more logins nobody uses.
Over time, these subscriptions compound. The average mid-market firm carries 40+ SaaS subscriptions, but only actively uses about 60% of them. The rest are ghost licenses: paid for monthly, used by no one.
A technology audit maps every license, every login, and every dollar. It takes days, not weeks, and the ROI is immediate.
