You can only optimize what you can see To make your SaaS portfolio hyper-relevant and cost-effective, you first need to understand what your company is using—and how much you're spending on it. How can you do this? Tools like Spendbase help you do exactly that. Here are some points: 🔹The most accurate list of employees is in your IDPs, where you can track app usage via SSO. That’s why Spendbase integrates with Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, and OKTA. 🔹Your most reliable software expense data lives in your accounting systems. That's why Spendbase also integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, NetSuite, and FreshBooks. 🔹By connecting your SaaS usage and spending data, Spendbase gives you the visibility you need. Once it’s visible, optimization insights are just a few clicks away. And if your data is still in spreadsheets? No problem! You can upload it in CSV or enter it manually. Kick your Saas usage up and cost down - with our help 😉

💻 The real cost of SaaS: Convenience vs. Control 🤔 SaaS products have transformed how operations are scaled and managed, but they also present control, transparency, and long-term pricing challenges. You’re no longer managing everything on your servers. Instead, you rely on third-party providers for uptime, updates, and support. While this simplifies some tasks, it can also be frustrating – especially when issues arise and outsourced support keeps you waiting. Then there’s the cost. Many businesses turned to SaaS for cost savings, but those savings are shrinking as prices climb. If the trend continues, could we see a return to on-prem infrastructure as a more sustainable option? Or do you somehow manage software prices? How do you balance SaaS's convenience with the need for control, support, and long-term cost stability?

IT roles are shifting from System Building to SaaS Automation. Does it bother you? More IT teams are moving from building full, custom solutions to setting up and automating SaaS products with APIs. While it may feel less "hands-on," this shift is at the core of streamlining operations and ensuring businesses stay agile in a rapidly changing digital world. This evolution brings new challenges – but also new opportunities. Instead of managing complex infrastructure, IT teams are now focused on integrations, automation, and optimizing workflows. It's a different kind of value that drives efficiency and scalability. For IT departments and founders: How do you see this shift impacting your team? Is this the future of IT, or are we overlooking the importance of end-to-end system development?
