According to the Zylo 2026 SaaS Management Index\u00b9, 46% of applications across the average organisation go underutilised or unused, adding up to an average of $19.8 million in wasted SaaS spend per organisation annually. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a striking financial number. But translate it into energy terms and the picture becomes equally compelling. Every application running in the background \u2014 whether anyone is using it or not, is consuming compute resources, drawing on server capacity, and generating emissions. Waste at scale isn&#8217;t just a budget problem. It&#8217;s an environmental one.    <\/p>\n<p><em>\u00b9 <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/zylo.com\/blog\/unused-software-cut-costs\/\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Zylo 2026 SaaS Management Index<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where software waste shows up <\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Unused and underutilised licences<\/h3>\n<p>Licenses assigned to employees who have left, tools adopted for a pilot that never scaled, seat counts purchased in bulk to meet minimum vendor thresholds, all result in paid software that delivers no value. The financial cost is well documented. The carbon cost is less visible, but just as real. Maintaining idle software means maintaining the infrastructure that supports it, servers, storage, cooling, all of which consume energy regardless of utilisation.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Over-provisioned cloud resources<\/h3>\n<p>Cloud environments are particularly prone to waste. Resources provisioned for peak demand but rarely at capacity, development environments left running outside working hours, storage allocated and forgotten, all represent energy consumed by workloads that don&#8217;t justify it. Rightsizing cloud resources is one of the most immediate ways organisations can reduce both their cloud bill and their cloud emissions simultaneously.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Shadow IT and application sprawl<\/h3>\n<p>The average organisation now runs well over 100 applications, many acquired outside formal procurement processes. Without a clear picture of the full estate, waste compounds invisibly. From a GreenOps perspective, what you can&#8217;t see, you can&#8217;t reduce.  <\/p>\n                                \n                                                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                                                                                    <\/div>                           \n                                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div> \n    <\/section> \n\n    \n\n          \n\n    \n    <section id=\"block-block_6b84bca54a048a5971639e747ab6feef\" class=\"side-image-cta-block\" style=\"background: rgba(232,169,187,0.33);\">\n        <div\n            class=\"container-fluid p-0 align-left  hover_bg\">\n            <div class=\"row m-0 w-100 justify-content-center\">\n                <div class=\"col-xl-8 col-lg-8 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12 row m-0\">\n                                            <div class=\"my-auto col text-center\">\n                            <img src=\"https:\/\/licensedashboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LD-FY25-Q3-New-Nav-Pages-Website-Icons9.png\" alt=\"\"  \/>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n                    <div class=\"my-auto col-xl-10 col-lg-10 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-12 pt-5 pb-5\">\n                                                                                    <h3 style=\"color: ;\">IT and SAM news delivered straight to you<\/h3>\n                                                    \n                        \n                        \n                                                                                    <div class=\"mt-4 w-100\">\n                                    <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  hbspt.forms.create({\r\n    portalId: \"5756203\",\r\n    formId: \"8da47982-caa6-41d7-bff3-9f246492dd55\"\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>                                <\/div>\n                                                    \n                        \n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n          \n\n    <section id=\"block-block_e73c58b7fd2209aa83a9804ee2beffcc\" class=\"news-content-block hs-cta-trigger-button hs-cta-trigger-button-102586314120\">  \n        <div class=\"container\">  \n        \n            <div class=\"row m-0 w-100\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"w-100 row mt-4 mb-4 ic ml-0 mr-0 col-12\">\n                            <div class=\"col-12 p-0 my-auto\">\n                                <div class=\"col-xl-12 col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-12 p-0 mll\">\n                                  \n                                    <h3 ><\/h3>\n                                 \n\n                                                                    <h2><strong>Mapping waste in your organisation <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding where software waste exists is the essential first step, and it means building a complete, accurate view of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What you own<\/strong> \u2014 every licence, subscription, and application across the organisation<\/li>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s actually being used<\/strong> \u2014 utilisation data at the user level, not just whether a licence has been assigned<\/li>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s redundant<\/strong> \u2014 duplicate tools serving the same function, often acquired independently by different teams<\/li>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s over-provisioned<\/strong> \u2014 cloud resources allocated beyond actual demand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the foundation of good ITAM practice.
