Cost saving opportunities in the SaaS market

The adoption of various cost optimization levers helps buyers of SaaS applications realize cost savings and achieve category management and value benefits (including a reduction in procurement complexities).


Technavio procurement experts have segmented the cost saving opportunities in the SaaS market into the following value-enhancement opportunities:

  • Adoption of technology
  • Supplier Competition
  • Adoption of negotiation strategies
  • Optimization of procurement practices
  • Bundling of services

Adoption of technology saving aspects

Microservices architecture refers to the method of developing a suite of independently deployable modular services. Unlike the monolithic architecture, modifications in a small section of applications do not require rebuilding and deployment of the entire suite. As a result, implementing microservices architecture methodologies for SaaS applications can lead to more reliability and less recovery time.

Docker is another technology, which works like a VM that allows applications to use the same Linux kernel as the main system to run the application, and requires only the application to be shipped, subsequently improving performance, and reducing application size.

Adoption of negotiation strategies

To ensure uninterrupted functioning of systems post procurement of software applications, buyers need to evaluate:

  • The level of assistance provided during transition from existing to newly deployed systems and processes
  • Training programs for employees
  • Whether support was provided by in-house teams or outsourced to other firms

Bundling of services saving aspects

To save time, costs, and management effort, buyers require SaaS solutions that can easily be integrated with existing legacy systems. In addition, they want the assurance of high-quality services and exchange of data through a safe mode such as network cables to eliminate the need to use public networks.
