How asking the right questions led to $2.1M in savings
The MTA was managing a fog of technology contracts. We brought cost modeling and clear questions, and surfaced more than $2 million in savings hiding in plain sight.
Hidden costs, no clear picture.
The MTA was managing a complex web of technology contracts, vendor relationships, and internal systems. Over time, costs had accumulated across multiple departments, but no one had a clear picture of the total spend or where money was being wasted.
Leadership knew there were opportunities for savings. What they needed was an objective partner to do the analysis and bring back recommendations they could act on.
A data-driven discovery, department by department.
"These weren't hypothetical numbers, they were concrete, actionable recommendations."
A clear path to $2.1M.
Our analysis identified more than $2.1 million in potential savings across the organization, and a roadmap to capture it without disrupting operations. Key findings included:
- Redundant software licenses that could be consolidated
- Contract terms that were unfavorable and renegotiable
- Manual processes that could be automated
- Vendor relationships that could be restructured
