Why this webinar is relevant
Most SAM teams aren't struggling because they lack effort — they're struggling because the data is fragmented, the timelines are short, and the pressure is constant. An audit arrives with 30 days' notice. A major renewal is 60 days out and no one has reliable usage data. SaaS applications are being provisioned faster than anyone can track them, especially in decentralized environments.
In practice, these three situations repeat themselves across organizations of all sizes. The tools exist to handle them. The problem is knowing how to act quickly, build a defensible position, and find real savings — without waiting for a fully mature ITAM program to be in place first. That is exactly what this webinar addresses.
What you will take away
The Audit Ambush — audit-ready in 30 days
See how USU surfaces a defensible compliance posture quickly when a major publisher audit lands with 30 days' notice — without a fully built-out ITAM program as a prerequisite.
The Renewal Trap — negotiate with real data
License optimization and reharvesting identify real savings before your renewal deadline — so your team negotiates with data instead of renewing blind.
The SaaS Sprawl Problem — instant visibility
See how USU cuts through shadow IT and unauthorized provisioning in decentralized environments — without a multi-month discovery project first.
15 minutes for your questions
Bring your specific situation. Both speakers answer questions on audit scenarios, renewal negotiations, SaaS governance, and how quickly results become visible after rollout.
