This week in honor of Halloween, Bryan is joined again by Plow Networks founders Brian Law and Cameron Plato, for an after-hours episode to discuss the terrifying reality that so many businesses face, overspending on subscription services. For almost every business IT is viewed as a money pit of expenses, so when a business spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on unused subscriptions it makes sense why it doesn't view IT as an investment. But, what if we told you it didn't have to be that way? Listen to Bryan, Cameron, and Brian walk you through how you can save money and stop overspending on your subscription services among other IT expenses in this week's after-hours episode. We hope you enjoy.
