Cost Management

Software cost management on unused seats, edition mix, and what you can drop before the next true-up. Coverage tracks the commercial saving on paper you already hold, not a FinOps view of cloud units.

Cloud Cost Control and FinOps sit in their own files when the meter is cloud spend. Vendor metric work stays in Microsoft, Oracle, and the other publisher categories. Use this archive when the question is license waste, not a new SKU buy.
