Who’s Actually Controlling Your AI Spend? How procurement can regain control of budgets, vendors, and ROI before AI becomes the next SaaS sprawl.

The webinar explores how procurement can take control of rapidly growing AI spend before it becomes the next wave of SaaS sprawl.

The discussion will examine the challenges procurement leaders are facing from additive software costs and uncertain ROI to unfamiliar pricing models and vendor-driven AI premiums and, more importantly, how procurement can respond. The central opportunity is for procurement to become the commercial control layer for enterprise AI, bringing greater discipline to where the organization invests, which vendors it backs, where it consolidates spend, and how it measures value.

We will explore: 

AI spend can either emerge organically across the organization and become another layer of unmanaged technology cost or procurement can establish the commercial framework that determines where the organization places its bets.

• Where is AI spend entering your organization without sufficient visibility?
• Which AI investments could be consolidated or offset against existing SaaS?
• What would procurement need to change today to manage AI as a strategic spend category rather than another software line item?

The goal is to make sure the organization knows what it is buying, what value it expects, which vendors it is betting on, and what it should stop paying for.
