Guide: SaaS Vendor Management

As your company grows, so does the number of SaaS tools your team needs to get their work done, from email marketing to web hosting, business intelligence, and beyond.

SaaS (Software as a Service) platforms are growing rapidly with solutions emerging to cover the full spectrum of business tasks. These online, cloud platforms give businesses easy-to-implement solutions that can help them achieve their goals. Additionally, their subscription model makes them more affordable for young, or rapidly growing companies since they don’t have to invest heavily upfront.

To help finance teams understand the SaaS landscape and how to get the most out of your spend, we created a SaaS Vendor Management Guide. The guide provides actionable insights and details on the following:
