Live chat with IDC: Why buyers want to consolidate vendors - but don’t

Dear ala,

Most software buyers want to consolidate vendors, but hesitate. According to the recent Thales-IDC Software Monetization Watch survey report, the main reason (say 74% of respondents) is fear of runaway costs.

Meanwhile, vendors might not be able to show the data customers need anyway. 55% reported struggling “to consolidate their own usage data across systems,” which means they can’t see the surprising costs coming before the customer does.

On October 7, 2026, Tiffany McCormick (IDC) and Darim Rahmatallah (Thales) walk through exactly where that gap is costing vendors and how to close it - before your customer jumps.
