Your software register is a governance asset
Keep a living inventory of the tools you already own — contracts, costs and renewal dates — so renewals never ambush you.
The cheapest governance win available is simply knowing what you already pay for. The software register is a living inventory of your existing tools, with the context an evaluation needs.
Context for every decision
Record contracts, costs and renewal dates, and the register becomes the incumbent baseline for any new evaluation — so a “should we switch?” project starts with the facts about what you’re switching from. Renewal dates feed directly into project deadlines, so a contract expiry can’t quietly creep up on you.
