– Stack Benchmark is a personal initiative born from my own experience in previous roles. – The idea is simple: help BU managers and finance teams better understand their software spending by comparing it, anonymously, with similar companies. – By sharing a few data points, participants get access to a growing benchmark on software stacks and budgets. No consulting, no obligation, just practical benchmarks built by peers, for peers.
