The Software Investment Challenge
Seventy percent of digital transformation initiatives fail to reach their stated goals. The gap between software investment and software value is where transformation budgets disappear.
- No visibility into how people actually use applications – which features, how often, where they struggle
- Only 45% of software purchases meet their expected ROI
- Renewal decisions based on assumptions – licence counts confirm purchase, not value
- Training completion confirms attendance, not competence – the wrong metric for success
How Userlane Supports
Digital Transformation
Measure real adoption
Know whether people actually use what you bought, not just whether it was installed. Five adoption dimensions - Happiness, Engagement, Adoption, Retention, and Task success - replace "deployed" with "productive" for every application.
An application can sit on every machine and still deliver no value. Usage data closes the gap between purchase and impact.
- Score each application against five adoption dimensions with confidence-weighted data
- Compare performance across teams, departments, sites, and time periods
- Surface where people struggle and which processes cause the most friction
See your full software estate
Answer "which of our 200 applications earn their budget" with evidence, not assumptions. Adoption, cost, and risk across your entire software estate in one prioritised view.
The data CFOs and CIOs need to act - where to invest, where to cut, and where to intervene.
- Rank applications by adoption, spend, and measurable business impact
- Surface idle licences and unused features across the portfolio
- Build a data-backed business case for reallocation or consolidation
