A roundup and discussion of industry news – license changes, product launches, financials and other vendor intelligence. Plus an opportunity for patrons to talk briefly about how their products and services are evolving to keep pace with the rapid changes we’re seeing in the technology world.
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.
Join us to explore how the right ITAM tool can transform the way your organisation tackles today’s SaaS Management challenges. Whether you are struggling to get visibility into application spend, frustrated with sprawl, or simply curious about what else is out there, this event offers a unique chance to see the latest tools in action, with no hard sell, no pressure.
So register now, bring your questions, and get ready for some insightful and interactive demonstrations.
Join AJ Witt and Flexera experts for an early preview of upcoming research into how ITAM & FinOps are working together to deliver business value. The talk is of closer working between FinOps & ITAM and this research will see if it’s happening in reality – and also provide insight into where the gaps are and how ITAM & FinOps should work to close them.
SaaS applications now power much of the modern workplace, yet many organisations still struggle to maintain visibility, control costs, and manage risk across a rapidly expanding portfolio of subscriptions. As SaaS adoption accelerates and purchasing becomes increasingly decentralised, ITAM teams must move beyond ad-hoc tracking and develop structured approaches to govern SaaS effectively across the organisation.
We’ll explore the common challenges organisations face, including shadow IT, fragmented ownership, licence waste, and limited visibility into application usage and renewals. Drawing on real-world practices and industry experience, the session outlines a repeatable approach for discovering SaaS applications, building a reliable inventory, establishing ownership, and introducing governance that aligns IT, procurement, and business stakeholders.
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.
As organisations navigate rapid technological change, the role of ITAM is shifting. Traditional best practices are being challenged by cloud, IoT, AI, and the rise of citizen engineering — and ITAM must evolve to stay relevant and deliver strategic value.
In this panel session, we’ll unpack how the discipline can adapt by moving from centralised, compliance-driven governance to a more collaborative, insight-rich model that embraces modern technology and distributed ownership.
As organisations become more data-driven, the importance of reliable, high-quality information continues to grow — particularly within ITAM. When data about the technology estate can’t be trusted or aligned, even well-established IT practices find it difficult to deliver consistent value.
We’ll dive into how ITAM’s relationship with data quality is evolving, and whether ITAM is best placed to take on the role of trusted data steward across the organisation. Our panellists will discuss who benefits most from accurate IT asset data, how ITAM should prioritise its focus, and what effective collaboration with key stakeholders looks like in the real world.
In hybrid and multi-cloud organizations, financial accountability and asset visibility often live in separate domains — leading to blind spots in spend, compliance, and operational risk. This session will explore how IT Asset Management (ITAM) and FinOps practitioners can break down silos and build integrated data models that deliver unified visibility across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments. Attendees will walk away with actionable frameworks for data unification, governance processes that support both cost optimization and compliance, and real examples of how collaboration between ITAM and FinOps drives measurable business value.In hybrid and multi-cloud organizations, financial accountability and asset visibility often live in separate domains — leading to blind spots in spend, compliance, and operational risk.
