In 2016, Gartner said most organizations could cut software spending by as much as 30% with basic license optimization. That was long before SaaS sprawl and AI Tokenmaxxing entered the vocabulary of IT leaders.
Across the 22,000+ environments Block 64 has scanned since 2012, the savings are still sitting there. Idle seats. Duplicate tools. Licenses nobody uses. Contracts that auto-renew while no one is looking.
IT leaders know the waste exists. What they don't have is the time, the tooling or the people to prove it before the next renewal lands.
So we built something different.
Today we're introducing Block 64 Rapid Assessments: a fixed-price IT assessment that pairs our discovery platform with a dedicated human analyst, and hands you a plan you can act on in 30 days.
Why most IT assessments stall
There are usually two ways to go after IT waste. Both assume you have spare capacity.
Buy an app. SaaS management and ITAM tools are powerful. They also come with a deployment project, a learning curve and another subscription. Someone still has to tune the data and turn it into decisions. That someone is usually already at capacity.
Do it in-house. Exports from five consoles, a spreadsheet, a folder of contracts. It works right up until the renewal date arrives before the analysis does. And your team ends up defending its own numbers with no independent backing.
Either way, the waste gets found eventually. Usually one renewal too late.
Block 64 Rapid Assessments: platform plus people
Rapid Assessments are a technology-supported service. The Block 64 platform does the heavy lifting. Our people make sense of it.
The platform. We deploy Block 64 discovery for you, using agentless scanning, a lightweight remote agent, SSO logs and direct APIs. It inventories SaaS, software, cloud and hardware, then normalizes every title through the Block 64 Product Library.
The human. Every Rapid Assessment comes with a dedicated Block 64 analyst assigned to your data. First, we help you set everything up and start discovering. Then we review every finding, separate real savings from noise and build your action plan. Finally, we walk your leadership through it. You don't get a data dump. You get someone who knows your environment inside out by day 30.
The deal. One month, one fixed price, no retainers. Your team's effort is a few hours, mostly approving access. Then you keep full access to the platform for a year, so you can keep updating your insights, free.
Every Rapid Assessment includes:
- Full deployment and onboarding. We work with you to set up agentless and agent-based discovery across on-prem, cloud and SaaS.
- Discovery of your whole IT stack. SaaS, software, cloud and hardware, normalized and categorized.
- Expert-led analysis. Your dedicated analyst runs the assessment end to end.
- A board-ready executive report. A costed, prioritized action plan, presented to your leadership.
- All the underlying data workbooks. Every number behind the recommendations is yours to keep.
- 12 months of Block 64 platform access. The full platform, so discovery and analysis keep going after the presentation.

The report ends. The Block 64 platform stays.
Most consultant-led assessments end with a PDF. Ours ends with a platform.
On day 30 you get a costed, prioritized action plan, an executive presentation and every underlying data workbook. You also get a 12-month Block 64 platform subscription, included in the price.
Keep discovery running. Track progress against the plan. Walk into your next quarterly review with fresh numbers instead of a stale spreadsheet. Or remove our software from your network if you no longer need it. Your call.
