&lt;p&gt;From what I&#39;ve heard, it&#39;s usually more of an extra manual step than a direct cost most of the time, someone exports a report and re-enters something in the procurement system, annoying but not expensive on its own. Where it does actually cost money is when the disconnect means a renewal or a duplicate subscription slips through because nobody cross-checked the two systems in time, that&#39;s a real dollar cost rather than just wasted effort, and it tends to be the exception that finally pushes a team toward something like NachoNacho where the visibility and purchasing happen in the same place.&lt;/p&gt;
