The 12 SaaS procurement oversights - and their true vs assumed threat to TCV

Alongside uncovering the 12 most common oversights of SaaS procurement, our research found that procurement leaders tend to underappreciate their impact on TCV.

  • And ironically, too much emphasis on the power of negotiation skills.
