How to reduce costs when switching from pega to an alternative ai automation platform?

We’re currently evaluating migration strategies from Pega BPM and the vendor license management is killing us. Every team needs different AI models, which means maintaining dozens of API keys and tracking usage across departments. The auditing alone eats up 20% of my team’s time.

Recently tested a platform that consolidates 400+ models under one subscription. The JavaScript fallback option helped our dev team tweak workflows without rebuilding entire automations. Curious if others have found sustainable ways to manage multi-model architectures while containing costs?

What’s been your experience with unified AI platform subscriptions versus individual vendor contracts?

We faced the same API key nightmare. Switched to Latenode’s single subscription model last quarter - zero key management and 37% cost reduction. Their unified billing shows exact model usage per department. Game-changer for audit prep.

Consolidating vendors helped us eliminate redundant NLP services. Found most teams only needed 2-3 core models despite initial requests. Built usage dashboards in the new platform to show actual ROI - changed the conversation about ‘needing’ every AI tool.

Key rotation policies become critical when dealing with multiple vendors. We implemented short-lived tokens through OAuth proxies before migrating platforms. This forced teams to document their actual dependencies - reduced our necessary integrations by 40% before even starting the transition.
