Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our FAQ section! Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions we receive. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out to us directly, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Are optimizations successful with both SMBs and large enterprises?

We run successful projects across multiple organizational sizes, industries, and geographies. On average, companies reduce their contract costs by 32% with
2Data regardless of company size.

LSP’s can be helpful for compliance maintenance, but because they resell vendor licenses there’s an obvious conflict of interest. An independent advisor safeguards your best interests by remaining totally vendor and tool agnostic.

An LSP is there to support you with the operational aspects of your contract. Our focus at 2Data is on helping you reduce costs through market insights, benchmark data, and proven tactics to support you in your contract negotiations separate to your LSP.

This depends on your organizational needs. Most once-off optimizations take between 3-6 months, while our Optimization as a Service offering gives you comprehensive coverage over a longer period.

We use an equitable pricing model that accounts for number of devices/users and geographic considerations. We offer the choice between a flat fee, or a success fee tied to the outcomes of the project.

On average, companies make back 25X their investment on optimization efforts through both cost savings and cost avoidance.
