About Us

A small firm,
by design.

We take a handful of clients a year. The work is confidential, the methodology is ours, and the only number we are judged on is the one we return to you.

Why we exist

We have sat on the other side of the table.

Every engagement is led by a partner who has priced, defended and renewed these exact contracts from inside the software vendors. We know how the discounts are modeled, where the concessions live, and which deadlines move the price.

That knowledge does not scale to a thousand consultants. So we keep the firm small, the engagements few, and the incentives perfectly aligned with yours.

What we stand on

Three principles.

01

Aligned by fee

Most of what we earn is contingent on what we return. If we find nothing, you owe us nothing.

02

Confidential always

We never name a client, and our methodology stays inside the room. Discretion is the product.

03

Evidence over opinion

Every recommendation is anchored in your own data and benchmarked pricing, never a vendor's narrative.

The partners

Two founders. Forty years at the table.

Workplace Spend Experts was founded by two advisors who have spent their careers inside enterprise software and the workplace tools that run on top of it. Every engagement is led personally by one of them.

FF

Fredrik Filipsson

Co-founder & Principal Advisor

Fredrik brings 20 years in enterprise software and workplace tools, spanning licensing, renewals and cost optimization across large agreements. He has priced and negotiated these contracts from the inside, and now puts that knowledge to work for the buyer alone.

His focus is vendor negotiation, Microsoft 365 and the enterprise agreements where most spend, and most leverage, sits.

Morten Andersen

Co-founder & Principal Advisor

Morten brings 20 years in enterprise software and workplace tools, with deep experience in the digital workplace and collaboration stack. He has seen how overlap and shelfware accumulate, and how a disciplined buyer reverses it without hurting the people who rely on the tools.

His focus is tool rationalization, collaboration and video licensing, and right-sizing the stack against real usage.
