In an ever-evolving IT landscape, it is becoming increasingly important for organizations to gain and maintain control over their software spending. Software has not only become business-critical—it is also more complex, more expensive, and increasingly delivered via the cloud. This makes an integrated approach to license management, cost optimization, and risk mitigation essential. 2Data and The ITAM-Unit are two independent organizations with a shared mission: to help organizations maximize the value of their IT while minimizing costs and risks. With this shared vision in mind, we have formed a strategic partnership—a collaboration in which our expertise and services reinforce one another.

The Strength of 2Data: Deep Licensing Expertise
2Data specializes in analyzing and optimizing software licenses and contracts for leading vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Salesforce. With in-depth knowledge of licensing terms and market developments, they help organizations to:

• Reduce licensing costs structurally;
• Enter contract negotiations—new or renewed—well-prepared;
• Make future-proof decisions based on usage data and strategy.

This includes workshops where clients and consultants jointly explore the organization’s technological needs for the next 3 to 5 years and align them with different user personas. This approach avoids unnecessary expenses and provides a solid foundation for smart, well-supported negotiation strategies backed by market insights.

The Strength of The ITAM-Unit: Strategic ITAM and FinOps
The ITAM-Unit focuses on developing and implementing strategies for IT Asset Management (ITAM) and Cloud Financial Management (FinOps). By integrating these disciplines, The ITAM-Unit helps organizations gain complete control over their IT—from procurement to retirement. With a focus on governance, processes, policy, tooling, and expertise, The ITAM-Unit supports organizations in:

• Designing and implementing ITAM and FinOps strategies;
• Controlling costs in both on-premise and cloud environments;
• Optimizing IT resource utilization;
• Minimizing compliance and audit risks.

One Unified Approach, Maximum Value
The strategic partnership between 2Data and The ITAM-Unit combines the best of both worlds: tactical optimization and contract advice from 2Data, and strategic IT governance and cost control from The ITAM-Unit. Together, we offer an integrated approach to managing software licenses, SaaS, and cloud solutions. By leveraging each other’s expertise and insights, we help organizations not only negotiate better and save more, but also invest in IT with a forward-looking and sustainable mindset.
