The 3 Unfunded Mandates of Moving to SaaS

Almost all software offered by our organizations, internal or external, ran by tech companies or big enterprises is increasingly offered as Software as a Service. Offering SaaS requires a new mode of operation from IT departments, yet most companies continue to run IT the same way they have 20 years ago, wondering why incidents are rampant and tech staff is burnt out.

In this talk, we will discuss the 3 unfunded mandates of moving to SaaS software - the unfunded tech debt remediation, the unfunded operational burden reduction, and the unfunded platform engineering. We will talk through why those are crucial concerns for running SaaS successfully, why we find ourselves making the same mistakes over and over, why it is so difficult to sell your CFO on investing in the unfunded mandates, and how we can improve the situation.
