Pro Tip:

First, watch the video to learn how to use this type of theme. Then, replace the video by selecting it and clicking on the "Embed Options" tab on the right. Then, simply paste in the direct link to YouTube or Vimeo. Hide this element when you're finished.

If you would rather embed a video or stream from a different service, use the "Livestream - iFrame Block", which can be found hidden in the Layout Tab.

AI has fundamentally changed the build vs buy equation. As custom software becomes faster and easier to build, more organizations are asking a new question: Do we actually need another SaaS tool?

The opportunity is real, but so is the risk. Without the right guardrails, SaaS replacement can quickly become another source of shadow IT, security gaps, and governance headaches.

In this 30-min session, we’ll explore why leading organizations are rethinking their SaaS footprint, what makes a strong candidate for replacement, and how a governed platform lets teams build the internal tools they need without sacrificing security, visibility, or control.

What you'll learn:

Why SaaS replacement is accelerating: how AI is changing the economics of build vs. buy and why leaders should think beyond cost savings to governance and control.

What to replace (and what not to): practical examples across operational dashboards, workflow automation, and internal admin and ops tools, plus where systems of record should stay in place.

How to launch a governed replacement strategy: a step-by-step framework to audit your SaaS stack, identify best replacement opportunities, and establish the guardrails that let teams build securely at scale.
