Amid the SaaSpocalypse, CIOs and CTOs take a harder line with their vendors | Fortune
Summary
Enterprise CIOs and CTOs are pushing back on SaaS vendors by demanding shorter contracts, deeper architectural scrutiny, and moves toward outcome-based pricing. Buyers fear large AI models and agentic agents could replicate or replace siloed SaaS tools and undermine per-seat pricing, prompting double-buying and in-house platform builds. The article highlights recent AI vendor developments (Anthropic's Project Glasswing, a source-code leak, and acquisitions by OpenAI and Anthropic), growing AI-enabled cybersecurity risks, and a weakening tech jobs market. It also lists multiple executive hires and internal promotions across enterprise software and IT organizations.
