From Seats To Consumption – optimising SaaS in the AI era

This episode AJ Witt, Geoff Worsley (bedigtial) and Leigh Martin (Flexera) explores how AI is transforming SaaS pricing and consumption, shifting from simple per-user models to complex, usage-based metrics. It examines what this means for SaaS management, how ITAM teams can optimise AI-driven costs such as tokens, and how organisations can assess value from their spend. The discussion also highlights the emerging governance and compliance challenges in managing AI-infused SaaS.

“We’re in a stage where you’re paying for consumption on anything. It’s no different, we just got to accept that that’s the way it’s going to be for going forward, but humans adapt. We’ll have to adapt. If you don’t, the only companies that are going to work out is ones that can work out how to make use of the data that’s in front of them faster and more actually than the other person” – Geoff Worsley, bedigital

In this episode, we unpack how organizations are using data and AI in ITAM, where things can go wrong, and what responsible adoption really looks like. The conversation highlights real-world challenges, governance considerations, and the mindset needed to balance speed, insight, and control.

“But in order for us to start leveraging at scale these kind of capabilities, we need to have that foundational trust. And that’s nothing new. That’s been the case for IT asset management for as long as I’ve, you know, been in this industry, which is a long time. You know, so having trustworthy data underpinning your IT asset management practice has always been the case, and it’s no different now. ” – Kieron Dean, SeriveNow
