SaaS Me Anything

Jason Owens: So we get to a renewal event, and it turns out that this audio, visual, and editing software platform had been picked up by our sales org. And after we did some digging, we found out all several hundred folks who had gone through the manager approval process, gotten the approvals, were using it to edit cat pictures and cat videos.

Cory Wheeler: Yes!

Meredith Albertson: How is managing SaaS different from on- premise software? Where to get started and what's going to move the needle? Hi everyone. I'm Meredith Albertson, CMO at Zylo, and your new co- host on SaaSMe Unfiltered. Get pumped for season three with all new interviews from IT, SAM, finance and procurement experts knee- deep in SaaS, from their fantastically terrible oh shit moments to wildly successful SaaS management programs.

Lindsay Stokes: What you don't know, you don't know, and there's a lot involved with bringing new tools into the environment. That moment, we basically... I knew we needed visibility first. I mean, how can we make informed decisions about what's best for Netflix without data to tell the story?

Meredith Albertson: Our next season also introduces a new series that brings clarity to the chaos of SaaS: SaaS Me Anything. Have questions about SaaS? Ben Pippenger's your guy, your resident SaaS expert providing answers to questions that, frankly, aren't always easy to find.

Ben Pippenger: We're seeing our customers reach a level of maturity when they're back in control. They've been able to get what they need to get in order to understand what's happening from a SaaS perspective in their environment. It's not an overnight thing though, right? It takes some time. You can't just snap your fingers and make that sort of thing happen.
