Flexera Live: Navigating the AI cost crisis

As AI, SaaS and consumption-based models reshape technology spend, organizations need clearer visibility, stronger governance and more confidence in the value their investments deliver. In this opening session, Flexera leadership will explore why AI is driving a major shift in IT budgets, how leading teams are creating accountability across ITAM and FinOps, and what organizations can do now to stay in control.

You’ll also get a first look at Flexera One’s AI-native roadmap, including upcoming innovations designed to help teams ask questions across their technology ecosystem, surface real answers faster and make smarter decisions. We’ll look ahead to what’s coming over the next 6–12 months and how customer feedback is shaping Flexera’s approach to helping organizations manage cost, risk and value in the new AI economy.

As AI, data clouds and consumption-based services accelerate technology spend, organizations need a stronger FinOps operating model to manage cost, value and accountability across the business.

This session will explore how teams can improve visibility, strengthen governance and bring IT, finance and business stakeholders together to make smarter investment decisions across today’s fastest-growing areas of spend.

As SaaS shifts toward consumption-based models and AI operates increasingly outside traditional applications, most organizations lack clear visibility into what software is being used, how it’s consumed and where value is created. This session explores why visibility is breaking down today—and what that means for managing SaaS, cost and accountability as AI transforms how work gets done.
