Flexera Live

As AI, SaaS, and consumption‑based models reshape technology spend, many organizations are struggling to clearly explain where money is going and what value it delivers. In this opening session, Flexera leadership will share how leading organizations are creating clarity, confidence, and accountability across complex environments — and how this shift enables better decisions, stronger governance, and sustained technology value.

In this session, you’ll see how Flexera’s latest innovations are already helping teams gain clearer visibility and accountability across ITAM and FinOps — as AI pushes organizations toward a 2026 tipping point for technology spend. You’ll explore why AI is about to dramatically increase IT budgets, what you can do about it, and get a first look at Flexera One’s AI‑native roadmap, including how you can ask questions across your entire technology ecosystem and get real answers instantly.

We’ll also look ahead to what’s coming over the next 6–12 months and how customer feedback is shaping what’s next — so you understand not just what’s changing, but how it will help you stay in control.

Hear directly from Flexera customers navigating today’s evolving technology landscape. This panel explores how teams are using improved visibility to break down silos, adapt to AI‑driven change, and prove value in an era of increased scrutiny.

Discussion themes:

• Managing AI and emerging technology spend without losing control
• Breaking down silos between FinOps and ITAM
• Proving value and accountability with executive stakeholders

Data clouds and AI are shifting technology spend from predictable commitments to highly variable consumption, creating new challenges for visibility and accountability. This session looks at how FinOps and ITAM leaders are approaching the new consumption cost curve — and what capabilities are required to manage data, AI, and SaaS spend together.

As technology spend expands beyond cloud into SaaS, AI, and consumption‑based models, traditional boundaries between FinOps and ITAM are breaking down. This session explores what a shared operating model for technology optimization looks like — and how organizations are aligning cost, risk, and value without creating new ownership gaps.

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 actually created. This session explores why visibility is breaking down today — and what that means for managing SaaS, cost, and accountability as AI reshapes how work gets done.

As technology spend becomes more complex and harder to explain — driven by AI, consumption models, and fragmented ownership — many organizations are struggling to define who is truly accountable for value. This session explores how accountability for technology spend is shifting across FinOps, ITAM, Finance, and Engineering, and what leaders must do to create clarity, shared responsibility, and confidence moving into 2026.
