The Convergence Blueprint: Why ITAM, SaaS & FinOps Must Unite in 2026

As enterprises accelerate cloud and SaaS adoption, traditional silos between ITAM, SaaS Management, and FinOps are breaking down. Each discipline holds part of the cost, risk, and value picture — but only together do they form the unified control plane modern organizations need. In this session, we’ll explore the forces driving convergence, including hybrid IT complexity, rising SaaS waste, multi-cloud commitment pressures, and the governance gaps created by fragmented tooling. You’ll learn how leading organizations are connecting discovery, usage, entitlement, and spend data to create a single system of intelligence for technology value.

ITAM & FinOps working together to govern SaaS

We explores why ITAM, FinOps, and SaaS management must converge as organisations navigate rapid changes in software consumption - especially with the rise of AI and usage-based pricing. Featuring insights from Flexera’s Gary McAllister, the discussion highlights the challenges of SaaS sprawl, unclear ownership, and unpredictable costs, while outlining practical steps for gaining visibility, improving governance, and shifting from cost control to value-driven management. "Treat FinOps, SaaS and ITAM as more of a kind of single kind of working group, but also ensure that you've got the best visibility you have across your entire estate into what's being used and where things go." - Gary McAllister, Flexera

Elevating SAM Data for Executive Decisions

In this session, SHI introduces a practical, repeatable model for converting SAM insights into actionable, executive‑level decisions across ITAM, FinOps, and Procurement. We’ll explore the governance challenges that bury SAM in operations, the misalignment created by isolated tooling and reporting, and the increasing need for consistent metrics, shared language, and joined‑up accountability. Drawing on customer patterns, cross‑discipline program experience, and SHI’s ongoing work with both the ITAM Forum and FinOps Foundation, we outline a lightweight decision framework that elevates SAM from reporting to relevance, and from counting assets to driving commitments.
