In this candid session, Adam Mansfield, Advisory Practice Leader at UpperEdge, challenges the long-held promise of SaaS flexibility. Drawing from real-world client conversations in 2025, he exposes the disconnect between vendor (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft…etc.) sales pitches and the contractual realities.

  • The false promise of SaaS flexibility
  • Real-life client pain points
  • How to negotiate more flexible and favorable contracts
