The BBC has reportedly made savings of over £100,000 (US $150,000) by removing 780 unused copies of its electronic purchasing system, each costing around £150. The National Audit Office in the UK had previously criticized the broadcaster for spending money on software it wasn’t actively using. A report found that 2,126 staff with a license for the purchasing system had not used it for six months or more.
