Socrates said “Know thyself” but when it comes to SaaS - do we? Maybe not. Turns out, the average company uses three to six times more cloud apps than IT knows about, and spend visibility is even worse! So how did we get here, and what can we do about the snowballing SaaS Sprawl challenges?

5 Steps For Effective SaaS Management

In just a few years, we’ve seen incredible growth in the number of adopted SaaS applications. We call this rapid growth the #SaaSExplosion.

In fact, Gartner predicts that SaaS spending will grow another 40% in the next 2 years alone. But this hyper growth comes at the expense of transparency. IT teams are left struggling to understand their current SaaS spend and forecasting their future budget.

In this webinar, we’ll discuss the challenges of budgeting for SaaS, why it’s time to treat SaaS as its own budget category, and what to do next.

Attendees will learn:

- How to take control of their SaaS spend
- Methods for discovering what SaaS applications are currently hidden
- Best practices for handling contract renewals
- Tactics for calculating your future SaaS budget

Join us in this webinar and take control of your SaaS spend.

How to Forecast Your Annual SaaS Spend

Most organizations waste 35% of their budgeted license costs on duplicate or unused seats in their SaaS application portfolio. And while most IT teams think they have 30-40 cloud apps in use, the real number is often closer to 1,000 apps – 80% of which are non-sanctioned, have not been reviewed and may not be compliant with security policies.

So, how can IT professionals make smarter strategic decisions about which apps they invest in based on license usage, user adoption, cost and even user overlap between applications?

Watch this webinar to learn how IT teams like Monday.com, Payoneer, Rock Content, and more are comparing their SaaS applications side-by-side and making smart decisions about which of their cloud applications to invest in, which pose the highest risk and which are redundant or not driving any business value.

SaaS Application Comparison: The Evolving World of IT

Can you imagine a world without apps? 

Cloud applications have become central to how we innovate in business, how we make decisions or even take actions every day. And while they’ve been absolute game-changers, the sheer number of apps we use and the staggering velocity has created a dizzying momentum that makes it nearly impossible for any human to keep up.

To put some numbers to it, most organizations:
- Have 300-600 cloud apps in use across various teams
- Add 15-25 new apps to the mix every month
- Procure apps outside of IT 75% of the time
- Swap up to 50% of their app tech stack every two years

It’s no wonder IT teams are grappling with how to manage, support and protect their exploding cloud application portfolio. The truth is, IT teams are outnumbered by the cloud applications in their organizations. So how can they tip the scale back in their favor?

Join Chris Shakarian from Torii and AJ Witt from ITAM Review as they walk you through the three steps every IT team needs to follow to successfully manage their SaaS stack.

3 Reasons You Need To Manage Your SaaS Stack Today

Shadow IT is scary, it’s expensive, and it’s hurting your business whether you acknowledge it or not. 

But, that’s not the whole story. Shadow IT is ultimately a product of decentralized decision-making, a method of SaaS purchasing that is done in the pursuit of innovation and optimization. So how can IT align their priorities (security and order) with those of the business (speed and innovation)?

SaaS Management provides the power to bridge the gap. The key is discovery, both through endpoint discover and through spend monitoring. With this insight, IT can maintain visibility into the organization without squashing the decentralized decision making that is so critical to modern business.
