Budgets are tighter, stacks are bloated, and renewal cycles keep creeping closer. If your organisation is drowning in tools but starved for value, it’s time to take a smarter approach to SaaS spend.

Join Steven Baker, Founder of VendorSage, for a candid, practical session on cutting through SaaS sprawl and turning spend into strategy.

Discover how to:

  • Tackle tool bloat without undermining capability
  • Consolidate around platforms that scale with your business
  • Turn renewals into strategic checkpoints, not sunk costs
  • Position Atlassian as an anchor in your consolidation roadmap

What You'll Learn

  • The SaaS Landscape: Abundance → Bloat

    • Why 5+ years of easy adoption have left most companies with fragmented, overlapping stacks.

  • The Shift: From Cost Cutting to Capability Consolidation

    • How leading organisations are moving beyond slash-and-burn to simplify while strengthening.

  • Three Proven SaaS Optimisation Playbooks

    • Application rationalisation, platform consolidation, and renewal-time reviews that keep spend aligned with strategy.

  • Atlassian as a Strategic Platform for Consolidation

    • How Atlassian replaces common point tools (Asana, Notion, Zendesk, and more) to reduce fragmentation and deliver consistent workflows.

  • Execution Beyond Licenses

    • Why consolidation fails without process mapping, governance and stakeholder alignment, and how partners can bridge the gap.

  • Closing Perspective

    • Why SaaS consolidation is a maturity signal, not a cost-cutting exercise, and how to align spend with value.

 

Who Should Attend

  • CIOs, CTOs, and technology leaders under pressure to simplify SaaS spend

  • Finance and procurement leaders facing mounting renewal costs

  • IT directors, platform owners, and admins tasked with rationalising stacks

  • Business and operations leaders looking to boost capability without adding more tools

Why You Should Join

This isn’t just another cost-cutting conversation. It’s a fresh perspective on treating SaaS like infrastructure; consolidating with intent, guided by data, and anchored in strategic platforms.
