What has changed in SaaS and Software Asset Management?
SaaS sprawl, cloud-linked licensing and AI consumption have outpaced traditional IT controls. Forrester defines today's challenge clearly: organizations scatter cost, access, entitlement and risk decisions across IT, finance, procurement, security, FinOps and business teams.
The need is no longer more inventory—it is technology that converts fragmented data into defensible cost, compliance and lifecycle decisions.
Forrester classifies SaaS and Software Asset Management as an established market. Its evolution is visible in how vendors now combine capabilities once spread across SAM, SaaS management, ITAM, FinOps, procurement and service management into a single continuous governance platform.
In this independent landscape report, Forrester Research profiles 21 vendors across core and extended use cases.
