Mergers and acquisitions don’t just bring new teams and systems—they bring inherited software contracts, multiple vendors, and a risk of paying for licenses you don’t need. Without a clear renegotiation strategy, organizations risk double-paying for licenses and missing out on potential cost-saving opportunities. This session explores how to approach license management post-M&A, with a focus on consolidating contracts, leveraging enterprise-wide agreements, and negotiating favorable terms with vendors. Learn how to align expiration timelines, reclaim license credits, and avoid early termination fees—while ensuring business continuity across newly integrated entities. In this session, you will learn:

• How to assess and identify license overlaps after a merger or acquisition
• How to renegotiate existing contracts to cover new entities without extra cost
• How to prepare for vendor negotiations during M&A transitions
• How to eliminate redundant products and avoid paying for the same license twice
