Enterprise software transition to cloud and AI
Overview
The enterprise software landscape is undergoing a structural shift toward cloud subscriptions and artificial intelligence integration. Major providers, such as SAP, are transitioning from traditional on-premises software licenses to cloud-based models, with specific maintenance milestones for core applications set for 2027 and 2030.
In response to these changes, businesses are evolving their SaaS management strategies. Rather than replacing existing systems, organizations are increasingly utilizing AI agents to coordinate tasks across multiple applications, moving workflows from application-centered tasks to outcome-centered results. To manage the costs associated with these evolving IT landscapes, companies are focusing on license optimization, application rationalization, and evaluating the total cost of ownership during subscription renewals.
