About the Content

Economic uncertainty has caused the pendulum to swing towards reducing costs while maximizing value from every dollar spent. When cutting overhead costs, one of the first places for companies to look is their tech stack. Having visibility into what SaaS tools are critical to their business is the first step. Knowing how to analyze and leverage the right data to improve relationships and negotiate with Saas suppliers is the second. 

Join us on May 9th as our expert panel discusses the latest technology procurement strategies over lunch at Taverna.

  • Optimizing and reducing your tech stack–how companies are doing more with less
  • The latest SaaS procurement data and insights in a rapidly changing market
