💡 Cost Optimization Tips

🔗
Prioritize native integrations: They're fastest to implement (1-2 hrs) and require no custom maintenance
🚫
Watch for tool overlap: Google Workspace + Microsoft 365 both for email (€2,600/mo combined) — evaluate consolidation
📊
Negotiate annual contracts: Annual Slack contract saves vs. monthly (€20.3k vs. ~€27k/yr)
🎯
Calculate true cost: Include integration effort and training time, not just licensing cost
