Over the last decade, buying software has become easier than ever—and that convenience has come at a cost. The explosion of SaaS solutions has introduced thousands of tools into enterprise environments, creating a sprawling and often redundant supplier landscape. Many large organizations now manage between 500 and 3000 software vendors, resulting in significant complexity, wasted spend, and inconsistent processes across business units.
As macroeconomic pressures intensify and CFOs sharpen their focus on efficiency and ROI, vendor consolidation has emerged as a strategic priority. But knowing where to start—and how to make real progress—remains a challenge for many IT, procurement, and finance teams. Consolidation efforts are often slow, manually intensive, and hampered by poor visibility into the supplier base and overlapping capabilities.
In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from CDK Global’s Director of Strategic Sourcing, about how leading enterprises are transforming the way they approach vendor consolidation. Drawing from real-world experience and actionable frameworks, this session will explore the tangible steps CDK Global has taken to reduce supplier sprawl, optimize software spend, and prevent future bloat.
You’ll learn:
• Why now is the right time to consolidate: Understand the key economic and operational drivers pushing enterprises to act.
• The scale of the problem: Learn how even well-run enterprises can unknowingly accumulate hundreds or thousands of redundant tools.
• Quick wins vs. long-term strategy: Identify high-impact, low-effort opportunities to eliminate overlap and realize immediate cost savings.
• Technology’s role in speeding up consolidation: See how AI-powered insights can reduce a process that once took years into weeks.
• Governance that lasts: Discover the controls and processes CDK Global is putting in place to prevent future supplier sprawl.
• Best practices and lessons learned: Avoid common pitfalls and learn what’s worked (and what hasn’t) from those who’ve done it before.
Whether you’re in procurement, IT, finance, or an operational leadership role, this webinar will equip you with the insights and tools to take back control of your software stack. If your organization is serious about driving efficiency and preparing for a more disciplined future of tech spend, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
