“Managing and negotiating SaaS renewals can be a difficult and time-consuming process, from buying and provisioning to understanding how the SaaS application is being used across the organization. When you factor in the hundreds of SaaS applications in use at a company, the process can be overwhelming,” said Jody Shapiro, co-founder and CEO, Productiv. “The SaaS Renewal Calendar transforms renewal preparations and planning from a reactive to a proactive process. This not only provides a single place for shared, comprehensive data to drive a collaborative approach to renewals but also opens up new conversations among IT, finance, and business units about their respective goals and needs. These conversations ensure the application portfolio is thoughtfully planned to ensure everyone in the organization has the applications and license types they need to be productive without buying too much or too little, or buying duplicative applications.”
The new SaaS Renewal Calendar is a critical component of the Productiv SaaS Management Platform, offering a simple and insightful overview of all upcoming SaaS renewals. Enterprises can avoid surprise auto-renewals and prioritize their renewal preparation based on time, size of renewal, and the strategic value of the particular application. The Renewal Calendar’s centralized, cohesive view gives IT leaders the usage data they need to make smarter decisions about their SaaS application stack.
“With Productiv’s calendaring feature, what’s been amazing is getting that 30, 60, 90-day view of what’s coming… so I can better prepare myself with very deep analytics of the usage patterns before I talk to the vendor,” said Jim Fazzone, vice president of IT, HashiCorp. “I think that’s really one of the big keys for us, is understanding what our true use case is to better shape the conversation and then keep finance aware that these things are coming.”

Productiv ingests and processes the raw contract data to provide a simplified view of your financial and commercial obligations so that as the business evolves, adds vendors, or modifies contracts you can still stay ahead of your renewals..
- Feature-Level Engagement Data — Application engagement data down to the user- and feature-level arms teams with all of the data they need to effectively negotiate each SaaS renewal.
