How to optimize your tech stack to increase exit valuations

Software costs are one of the first things investors pull apart in due diligence.

Licenses that should have been cancelled. Renewals that went through without a second look. Spend that happened outside any formal process. None of it feels urgent until someone else is looking at it during due diligence.

Watch this live panel to learn why exits are becoming harder than ever - and what that means for finance and procurement leaders (as well as investors) thinking about a future transaction.

What you'll take away:
  • How investors are now evaluating software spend in operational due diligence
  • How the finance leaders who came out ahead approached spend management differently
  • What practical steps finance leaders can take now, regardless of where they are in the transaction timeline

If a transaction is on your horizon, this is the conversation to have before you're sitting across the table from someone who's already found the problem.
