Where Technology Budgets Bleed: Software Sprawl & Auto-Renewals.

As mid-market companies scale from $20M to $150M, software and IT OpEx quietly compounds. Department heads purchase point solutions on corporate cards, software seats go unassigned, and redundant SaaS platforms proliferate across business units.

Without an executive technology governance framework, organizations fall into the Auto-Renewal Trap: vendor contracts with restrictive 60-to-90-day cancellation notice windows lock executive teams into 8% to 15% compounding annual price increases for software they barely utilize.

Meanwhile, your Managed Service Provider (MSP) collects backend commissions on software licenses, making objective spend rationalization structurally impossible. Arcway restores absolute executive oversight.
