Is Your Tech Stack Quietly Killing ROI?

Technology spending keeps climbing, but results haven’t kept pace.

Organizations keep adding systems, licenses, vendors, integrations, and AI add-ons—but productivity remains flat and business outcomes rarely improve. The gap between what you spend and what you actually get is widening.

Below are the silent ROI killers we see inside nearly every mid-market and enterprise environment:

Structural Friction

• Workflow Ambiguity – Redundant tools and unclear ownership force rework and slow decisions.

• Workflow Dependency – A single vendor outage or broken integration can stall entire processes.

• Hidden Complexity – Workarounds, customizations, and shadow IT multiply risk and slow execution.

Cost Inflation

• License Sprawl – Overlapping subscriptions inflate spend with minimal utilization.

• Maintenance Debt – Every new build adds hidden upkeep that compounds over time.

• Vendor Lock-In – Rigid contracts limit leverage and narrow your strategic options.

Low Value Realization

• Low Adoption – Features ship, but users don’t engage—value never materializes.

• Product-Led Misalignment – Vendors reward output, not your outcomes, leaving you paying for motion, not impact.

The Result

You end up with a tech stack that appears modern but behaves like a cost center—a sprawling ecosystem that’s oversold, under-utilized, and misaligned with the business.

This isn’t a software problem.

It’s an ROI problem.
