You're Overspending on Software (It's Time to FIX IT) | James Layfield

Описание: In this podcast episode, James Layfield explains how an email-based AI coworker, called Sam, helps teams understand what their software can do, identify where tools overlap, and make quicker, data-driven decisions about which subscriptions to keep or eliminate. We talk about the challenges of software sprawl, the impact of buying tools out of fear of missing out, and how to effectively test whether or not a product delivers value. We also address security concerns, share real examples like Volkswagen Financial Services saving $100 million, and discuss why straightforward workflows often work better than complicated dashboards.

You'll hear how leaders address resistance from their teams, see how a single email can kick off a full migration plan, and get a sense of what kind of savings are possible for both small businesses and large enterprises!
