Software & AI Value Governance

Derive value of every software and AI investment

Kriviksha AITech runs two connected value systems — Software Licence Value & Governance and AI Usage Value & Governance. We give you the inventory, controls and evidence to cut waste, survive audits and show what your technology spend actually returns.

What a first engagement produces

  • Effective Licence Position 4–6 weeks
  • ISO 19770-1 maturity baseline Levels 1–5
  • Renewal & audit exposure register Ranked
  • AI use-case cost per outcome Per workflow
  • Optimisation roadmap Quick wins first

The scale of the problem

$1.24T2025 worldwide software spend
$5.61T2025 worldwide IT spend
~25%Software share of IT spend
3–6 moTypical vendor audit duration

Spend figures are published industry analyst estimates for 2025 and are shown for context only. Audit duration reflects our delivery experience and varies by publisher.

Two value systems

One discipline, applied to both halves of your technology spend

Licensing and AI fail for the same reason: nobody can see what is being consumed, who owns it, or what it returns. We run the same evidence loop across both.

Software Licence Value & Governance

Know what you own, what you use and what you are exposed to — then hold that position with controls that survive a vendor audit.

  • SAM Audit & AdvisoryDefensible Effective Licence Position, publisher-specific compliance snapshots, audit defence preparation.
  • SAM Process ReviewISO 19770-1 maturity assessment, gap analysis and a Level 1→5 roadmap.
  • SAM Tool IntegrationFlexera, ServiceNow and Snow configuration, CMDB/ITSM alignment, application recognition.
  • Managed SAM ServicesOngoing reconciliation, renewal governance and executive reporting.

AI Usage Value & Governance

Adopt AI without losing control of cost, risk or evidence. Every use case gets an owner, a risk tier and a cost per business outcome.

  • AI Strategy & ReadinessUse-case discovery and scoring, data readiness, governance foundations, execution roadmap.
  • AI Automation & AssistantsWorkflow automation and secure role-based assistants across IT, procurement, finance and operations.
  • AI FinOps & Token EconomicsConsumption monitoring, cost per request and per outcome, forecast versus actual, budget thresholds.
  • AI Value RealisationExpected versus realised benefit, and a clear decision to scale, redesign, pause or retire.

Explore AI Usage Value

The questions we get asked

If any of these are hard to answer, that is the engagement

“What do we own, what are we using, and what does it really cost?”

Usually answered by an inventory and entitlement reconciliation — and it is usually the first thing missing.

“If a publisher audits us next quarter, what is our exposure?”

Answered by an Effective Licence Position plus an evidence trail that holds up under scrutiny.

“Which AI use cases should we scale, change, or stop?”

Answered by cost per outcome against realised benefit, reviewed on a fixed cadence.

Our approach

The Kriviksha value lifecycle

Five stages. Each one has a named deliverable, so you always know what you are getting.

1

Discover

Inventory, entitlements, consumption and owners. Deliverable: current-state baseline.

2

Govern

Decision rights, risk tiers, approval flows. Deliverable: operating model and control set.

3

Measure

Cost, utilisation, exposure, adoption. Deliverable: reporting pack with a fixed cadence.

4

Optimise

Reclaim, re-tier, renegotiate, re-route. Deliverable: ranked action list with owners.

5

Prove value

Expected versus realised benefit. Deliverable: executive value statement.

Why enterprises work with us

Practitioner-led delivery. Global standards. Evidence you can put in front of a board or an auditor.

Practitioner-led, not slide-led

Engagements are run by people who have sat on the wrong side of a publisher audit. You get a defensible position, not a maturity diagram.

Governance-first execution

We leave behind controls, ownership and evidence trails — so the savings hold after we leave rather than drifting back within two renewal cycles.

Global standards, ISO-aligned

Process work is benchmarked against ISO/IEC 19770-1, which gives regulated and multi-entity organisations a common language for maturity.

Fast value, then durable value

Quick wins in the first weeks fund the longer transformation. We sequence for cash release early and control maturity after.
