In this episode of Business Reporter’s Best of British Business, we explore the power – and pitfalls – of data-driven decision-making with David Harding from MagicOrange.

MagicOrange, a leader in IT spend optimisation, believes every CIO should have full transparency in their IT budget, enabling smarter investment and divestment decisions. But can business efficiency truly be reduced to numbers? And how do we ensure data-driven insights are trustworthy?

David takes us on a journey through the origins of MagicOrange, and how its role in helping enterprises uncover the real cost of their technology investments has evolved over time. He explains why cost transparency beyond IT is critical, how unit economics can transform financial decision-making, and why AI is becoming the CFO’s smartest assistant.

If you're looking to optimise IT spend and drive profitability, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.
