Straight Answers to QuestionsWe Hear Every Week

We help enterprises spend less on technology by finding and removing waste in Software Licensing contracts, technology assets, cloud commitments and security spend. We have been doing this since 2015 across four continents and we guarantee savings of 10%-12% annually on major Software Licensing contracts.

Enterprise organizations and Fortune 500 companies, primarily with CIOs, technology directors, procurement leads and finance stakeholders responsible for large, complex software spend. We work across banking, insurance, pharma, telecom, oil and gas, government, manufacturing and technology services.

Completely independent. We do not sell software, take vendor commissions, or work as a funded auditor for any publisher. Our revenue comes from advisory fees, which means our only incentive is to give advice that actually helps you manage your costs.

A reseller profits when you buy more software. A generalist technology consultant may not have deep knowledge of specific vendor licensing models. We sit on the client side of every engagement, with specialist expertise across major publishers and no commercial relationship that would compromise that.

Our headquarters are in Gurugram, India, at Emerald Plaza, Sector 65, Golf Course Extension Road. We have offices and delivery capability in Australia, Singapore, the United States and the UAE, with clients across North America, EMEA, APAC and ANZ.

Our guaranteed commitment is 10%-12% annually on major Software Licensing spend. In practice, first-year savings are often higher, particularly for organizations that have not done a structured review in several years. The exact figure depends on estate size, vendor mix and how recently contracts were last negotiated.

We start with a rapid diagnostic: a structured analysis of your current contracts, licensing position and spend data. From there, we build a prioritized savings roadmap with clear ownership, timelines and target outcomes. We stay with you through execution, not just the findings report.

Many clients identify actionable opportunities within the first four to six weeks of engagement. Realized savings depend on contract renewal cycles. Some can be captured immediately through reclaim or renegotiation, others at the next renewal milestone.

Both. Technology Spend Management covers the full software estate: on-premises licensing, cloud subscriptions, SaaS commitments and hybrid environments. Cloud right-sizing and consumption governance are increasingly significant components of the work we do.

Yes. Most engagements are structured as advisory alongside existing internal teams. We bring specialist expertise, market benchmarks and independent analysis that internal teams often do not have the bandwidth or access to develop themselves.

Yes. Audit support is a core part of what we do. We help organizations build a defensible licensing position, understand their true exposure, prepare the evidence the auditor will ask for and negotiate the outcome. The earlier we are involved, the better, but we can step in at any stage.

We have deep expertise across Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, IBM, VMware, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Adobe: the publishers that account for the majority of enterprise software spend. We also work across a broader set of publishers depending on your estate.

This is where we add the most value. Knowing your true licensing position before a renewal gives you leverage. Knowing it after you have already signed rarely helps. Proactive advisory is always more cost-effective than reactive audit response.

Software Asset Management (SAM) focuses specifically on software: licenses, entitlements, compliance and usage. Technology Asset Management (ITAM) is broader, covering hardware, cloud and the full lifecycle of technology assets. Our ITAM service incorporates both, with software optimization as a key output.

Yes. Most organizations have tooling that collects data but lacks the expertise to turn it into decisions. Our managed ITAM service provides the analytical layer, governance framework and specialist knowledge that makes the data in your tool actionable. We also work with Naarad, our proprietary AI-powered ITAM platform, which enhances and extends existing tooling rather than replacing it.

Naarad is Silver Leaf's proprietary AI-powered ITAM platform. It provides real-time visibility into your software estate: automated discovery, entitlement mapping, compliance risk monitoring, contract lifecycle management and continuous Cost Optimization. It is designed to make annual audits unnecessary by keeping your position current every day.

Security incidents are the most expensive unplanned cost an enterprise faces. We help organizations build practical, risk-based security programs that manage that exposure while ensuring the security budget itself is sized appropriately for actual risk, not vendor upsell.

Both. We assess, prioritize, design and implement with hands-on remediation guidance, policy templates and controls mapping to your framework, whether NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, or internal standards. We do not hand you a 200-page findings report and disappear.
