IT expense optimization
20–40% of your IT spend is waste. We find it in 90 days.
Bartine is vendor-agnostic. We audit every line of your technology spend — cloud, telecom, SaaS, security, voice, connectivity — and recover what's overpaying without changing providers or disrupting performance.

What we audit
Twelve layers. One bill. One audit.
Most companies buy IT in pieces — a cloud contract here, a phone system there, a security stack from a third vendor. We audit all of it at once, because waste hides in the seams between vendors.
01
Connectivity
Reliable, high-performance network across every location, audited for circuit overlap, redundant carriers, and underused bandwidth.
02
SD-WAN
Intelligent routing that consolidates expensive MPLS into hybrid links — typically the single largest line item we recover against.
03
Cloud & Colocation
Hybrid, multi-cloud, and colocation contracts audited for committed-use over-provisioning, idle compute, and unrenewed discounts.
04
Software-as-a-Service
Every SaaS subscription audited for inactive seats, duplicate tools, and tier downgrades the vendor never proactively offered.
05
Cybersecurity
Threat detection, monitoring, and tooling consolidated against actual risk profile — most stacks pay for overlapping coverage.
06
Security & Access Control
Physical and digital access — surveillance, badge systems, identity — audited for sunk hardware contracts and unused licenses.
07
Unified Communications
Voice, video, and messaging consolidated onto a single platform. Most clients are paying for two.
08
Hosted PBX & Voice
Legacy voice lines audited line-by-line. Disconnected DIDs, dormant fax lines, and forgotten analog circuits add up fast.
09
Contact Center (CCaaS)
Cloud contact center licensing reviewed against actual seat utilization and channel mix — rarely sized correctly.
10
IoT & Mobility
Connected devices, fleet SIMs, and mobile lines audited for dormant endpoints and carrier plan mismatches.
11
Telco Aggregation
Carrier contracts renegotiated through aggregator relationships — the same circuits, lower rates, no vendor change required.
12
Artificial Intelligence
Where AI can replace manual monitoring, ticket triage, or capacity planning, we quantify the savings before recommending it.
The process
Three steps from invoice to recovered dollar.
No new headcount on your side. Bartine runs the audit; you sign off on each recommendation before anything in your stack changes.
01
Inventory
We collect every IT and telecom invoice, contract, and license from the last twelve months. Most clients can't produce this list themselves — that's the first finding.
02
Audit
Each line item is mapped to one of the twelve domains and benchmarked against market rates, actual utilization, and contract terms. Findings come back with a dollar figure on every recommendation.
03
Execute
We renegotiate, consolidate, or re-source — your call on each line. Nothing changes without sign-off. Documented savings hit the P&L within 90 days.
Why this works
The waste is in the seams. Single-vendor audits never look there.
Every vendor in your stack has a reason to leave the others alone. Vendor-agnostic is the whole job.
12 domains
No internal team owns all of them.
IT owns cloud. Finance owns telecom. Operations owns access control. Nobody is reading every invoice across every category — which is exactly where the waste collects.
0 commissions
We don’t sell what we audit.
Most “audits” come from vendors trying to sell you their stack. Bartine doesn’t carry product. The only recommendation is the one that lowers the bill.
90 days
To documented recovery.
Findings are written. Savings are signed off. Every recovered dollar shows up in writing on the P&L — not in a slide deck.
Recovered share of annual IT spend
Single-layer vendor audit vs. Bartine's twelve-domain audit
Typical audit
With Bartine
Auditing every layer at once is what surfaces the recoverable spend.
The difference
A vendor audit looks at one layer. We look at all of them.
Same stack. Same providers, if you want them. A fundamentally different answer to how much of your IT spend is recoverable.
| Audit step | Typical vendor audit | With Bartine |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | One layer (their layer) | All twelve domains |
| Incentive | Sell you their stack | Lower your total bill |
| Carrier renegotiation | Rarely, only for new contracts | Standard, on existing contracts |
| SaaS license review | Out of scope | Included |
| Switching cost | High — full provider replacement | Optional — most savings keep current vendors |
| Time to documented savings | 6–9 months | 90 days |
| Recovered share of annual spend | 0–10% | 20–40% |
Find the waste. Keep the providers.
Free audit. No commitment. Bartine quantifies the recoverable amount before any line of your stack changes.
Questions
The answers CFOs ask first.
No. Most savings come from renegotiating existing contracts, consolidating SaaS seats, and right-sizing committed-use cloud spend. Provider changes are optional, line by line.
Internal audits typically cover one or two layers and miss the seams between vendors. Bartine audits all twelve domains together — which is where the recoverable spend usually hides.
A share of documented savings, capped and disclosed up front. If we don’t find recoverable spend, the audit is free.
No. Findings come back as written recommendations. Nothing changes without sign-off, and execution is sequenced to avoid service interruption.
Both. We map your actual risk profile against current tooling and flag overlap. Coverage usually goes up, not down, after consolidation.
Most engagements run on annual IT spend between $250K and $25M. Below that, the math rarely justifies the engagement. Above it, the math gets harder to ignore.
