Enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) usage is proliferating across categories as companies see benefits such as business agility, rapid time-to-value, and pay-as-you-go pricing models. But sourcing strategy for SaaS is often an afterthought. The typical business-led, try-and-buy purchasing patterns for SaaS have left organizations with multiple siloed instances of SaaS solutions, weak integration with enterprise IT strategy, uncontrolled costs, shadow IT, and new risks to the enterprise.
This webinar shows you how to assess your SaaS maturity across five key categories that matter for making SaaS purchases successful: category fit, technical fit, application development maturity, governance maturity, and sourcing maturity.
The Forrester self-test will help you uncover gaps that could inhibit success and diminish the benefits that SaaS promises.
Agenda:
Vendors mentioned: Google, Microsoft, Oracle, salesforce.com, SAP, and Workday.
