The Social Security Admin. completed the same software audit. We at DOGE believe that a good audit can be completed in a day! Initial findings:

-4 redundant survey tools, ranging from $118K-$1.8M/year
-Paying for 10,000 UI Path licenses; only using 5,011
-Paying for 20,600 Tableau licenses; only using 11,560

Fixes in work.
Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are:
- 37,000 WinZip licenses
- 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple… Read more
