SaaS has transformed the way businesses operate, boosting efficiency, flexibility, and scalability. But as your tech stack grows, so do the financial risks. The average mid-sized company now manages over 120 SaaS applications, yet Gartner estimates that 20-30% of SaaS budgets are wasted on duplicate or unused tools.
With more tools comes more complexity: hidden costs, duplicate subscriptions, misaligned contracts, and long-term commitments that might not serve your business needs. And for finance teams, that means an ongoing challenge: How do you ensure every SaaS investment delivers real, measurable value?
That’s exactly why we created this ebook.
It’s not just another high-level overview. It’s a practical, no-nonsense guide tailored with the expertise of over 20 expert IT buyers to help CFOs and finance leaders regain control of SaaS Procurement, avoid costly mistakes, and optimise spending.
What you’ll get in this guide:
- 15 essential questions to ask before any SaaS purchase—so you only invest in tools that align with your business goals.
- Expert-backed strategies to cut unnecessary costs, streamline procurement, and negotiate better contracts.
- 5 cost-saving tactics to eliminate hidden fees, reduce duplicate subscriptions, and prevent overspending, helping you recover up to 30% of wasted SaaS budget.
- 4 key negotiation strategies to secure flexible pricing, avoid auto-renewal traps, and reduce long-term cost commitments.
- Guidelines for smarter contract management, covering multi-year agreements, renewal strategies, and budgeting for price increases.
- Checklists for vendor evaluation so you can confidently assess integration compatibility, compliance standards, SLAs, and scalability.
By applying these insights, finance teams can take back control of SaaS spending, improve budget predictability, and build a procurement strategy that actually drives business value.
