Cost Optimisation Services
Identify inefficiencies, reduce spend, and deliver better services - without compromising performance.

Maximise Value. Eliminate Waste. Achieve More.
At BDQ, we help organisations reduce operational costs, streamline toolsets, and maximise ROI through strategic assessments and targeted optimisations. Whether you're using Atlassian, HaloITSM, Monday.com, Freshworks, Asana, or Zephyr, our cost optimisation services are designed to improve efficiency without compromising on outcomes.
Our expert consultants assess your existing systems, identify cost-saving opportunities, and implement changes that deliver measurable results. From license optimisation to process refinement and tool consolidation, we help you get more from your investments.
Our Cost Optimisation Services
We offer a focused suite of services designed to help you cut costs and maximise value across your toolsets. From reducing unnecessary software licenses, to streamlining inefficient processes, consolidating overlapping tools, and improving your overall return on investment - our cost optimisation services are tailored to your business goals and technology stack.
These assessments help our clients not only save on tool spend - but also regain control, alignment, and scalability across their business units.
🔍 License Optimisation
Stop overpaying for unused or misaligned licenses. We analyse your current usage across platforms (e.g., Atlassian, Asana, HaloITSM) and identify areas to reduce costs without affecting functionality. We ensure that every license adds value.
➡️ Example: For wdPro Global, BDQ used Jira and Zephyr to create reusable, consistent workflows across large projects, enhancing test management and collaboration without extra tools. Read more >>
⚙️ Process Efficiency
Eliminate bottlenecks and reduce manual effort. We redesign workflows and automate key processes using tools like Jira Service Management, Tempo, and Asana. The result? Time saved, resources freed, and improved output quality.
➡️ In the Employ HR Pro case study, BDQ saved over 182.5 hours/year per team member by automating HR tasks using Asana. Read More >>
🔗 Tool Consolidation
Running multiple tools for similar functions? We’ll help consolidate platforms to reduce spend and improve cohesion. BDQ has deep experience migrating and consolidating systems like Monday.com into Jira Work Management, combining functionality and saving costs.

💸 ROI Improvement Strategies
We look at total cost of ownership and operational ROI. Our recommendations often include automation, reporting enhancements (e.g. via Tempo), and targeted staff training to improve adoption and return on your software investments.

Cost Optimisation Services | Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can BDQ identify cost savings quickly?
Yes. We typically identify quick wins during our initial discovery workshops. Deeper savings are uncovered as we model workflows and licenses.
-
Can you work with legacy or hybrid environments?
Yes. We have experience optimising both on-premise, hybrid, and cloud systems across various vendors, including migrations to cloud.
-
What are the time requirements from my team during the process?
Minimal time. We use our rapid discovery process with short, focused workshops, and do the heavy lifting on our side - saving your team time while getting fast results.
-
What kind of reporting improvements can I expect?
Using tools like Tempo and Jira dashboards, we provide management-level KPIs, time logging insights, and capacity reports that support smarter decision-making.
-
Can BDQ implement the changes for us too?
Yes. After the assessment, we can implement the improvements, offer training, or provide ongoing support via Consultancy Time Banks.
-
We’ve already done internal optimisation. Is this still useful?
Yes, absolutely. External assessments often uncover overlooked inefficiencies and areas for further improvement - especially when spanning multiple tools or departments.
