in every org I have seen ruthless cutting (hundreds of millions of dollars in one case) if there is any hint of overlap or the ability to go without Can confirm; I'm on a team doing this analysis right now. And, frankly, it's a really good idea. When I started asking questions like "why do we have 4 different proxy technologies solving the same use case", "why are we using an on-prem solution over here and a SaaS over there to do the same thing" and "why are you buying this tool when we have an MSA with one of their competitors that will save us 60% on the licensing", it was enlightening. Occasionally, there was a really good reason ("it has feature X which makes us Y percent more efficient"...ok, that makes sense) but almost always we got something like "I didn't know anyone was using Product D when we purchased Product E". I dunno if it's going to be 100s of millions in savings, but we're definitely going to see 10s of millions. Have also seen aggressively playing VARs/reseller off of each other to drive down cost. Hey now...that's the fun part.
