IT spend per employee is a critical metric for finance and procurement teams

By uncovering data on employee SaaS costs across departments, industries, and IT spend by industry, you can:

  • Highlight discrepancies in IT spending across departments that indicates underutilization or misaligned investments
  • Build a stronger, data-driven case for budget changes
  • Ensure efficient growth by understanding how software costs scale per employee to forecast future expenses and plan for additional resources as the company grows

Benchmark SaaS spend efficiency & gain a competitive advantage

Benchmark your IT costs against peers and industry standards to understand how your investment compares and where adjustments may be needed. By comparing your per-employee SaaS spend to industry norms, you can:

  • Assess whether you’re under- or overspending in comparison to industry averages, helping you identify cost-saving opportunities or areas requiring more investment
  • Identify outliers in spend, such as departments with disproportionately high or low IT costs, which can signal inefficiencies or misaligned software investments
  • Set more realistic budget targets, grounded in both external and internal performance data, ensuring that your spend is competitive and aligned with company goals

Benchmarking IT spend efficiency ultimately provides the clarity needed to ensure your technology investments are delivering optimal value, both within your organization and relative to industry standards.
