The premise
SaaS spend grows faster than discipline. AI can scan license, usage, and SSO data to find redundancy nobody owns.
What AI does well here
- Cluster tools by capability and flag overlapping coverage.
- Identify licenses with low or zero use over the last 90 days.
- Draft a vendor-by-vendor consolidation memo.
What AI cannot do
- Know which tool is mission-critical for one specific power user.
- Predict the change-management cost of consolidating.
- Replace the conversation with the team that owns the tool.
