From SaaS Spend to Owned Workflows
Most enterprises use only a fraction of their SaaS platforms, yet still pay for everything. SaaS Exit Sprint helps you build and own the workflows you actually use, instead of renting bloated software.
SaaS spend vs actual usage
Enterprise SaaS platforms are built to cover many customers and use cases.
Most organizations, however, operate on a small set of repeatable workflows.
This leads to:
broad feature bundles,
growing number of subscriptions,
recurring price increases,
limited visibility into real usage.
In practice, teams rely on several core workflows, while most of the platform remains unused. SaaS Exit Sprint uncovers this gap and turns it into a concrete asset strategy.
Assess my SaaS spendAsset creation: build the slice
Identify the 20–30% of workflows that drive real business value
Rebuild only those workflows using AI-enabled delivery
Integrate them into your existing systems
Move from SaaS dependency to IP ownership
The result is not customization.
It’s a business asset you own and control.
Why AI changes the economics
Until recently, building custom software was slow, expensive, and risky.
AI changes the equation by offering:
faster delivery cycles,
lower development cost,
controlled, narrower scope.
These days, custom software is no longer more expensive than renting bloated SaaS platforms. Rather than eliminating SaaS, AI makes selective replacement economically rational.
Sprint deliverables (6–8 weeks)
SaaS Exit Sprint is a fixed-scope, time-boxed engagement.
By the end of the sprint, you get a production-ready workflow replacement, full IP ownership, and a quantified SaaS exit plan.
| Sprint phase | What we do | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Usage & cost analysis | Review licenses, spend, and actual usage patterns | SaaS waste baseline + short list of high-impact workflows |
| 2. Workflow selection | Select 1–2 daily workflows, define scope and success metrics | Agreed scope, success criteria, and delivery plan |
| 3. Architecture & integrations | Design security, data flows, SSO/identity, and integrations | Production-ready architecture + integration blueprint |
| 4. Build & deploy the slice | Build the workflow slice, test with users and real data, deploy alongside SaaS | Live workflow slice running in your environment |
| 5. Run model & exit roadmap | Define support, monitoring, ownership, and phased license reduction | Runbook + SaaS exit roadmap + OpEx reduction plan |
Forget prototypes, and adopt a working system you can keep and evolve.

| Renting SaaS | Owned Workflows | |
|---|---|---|
| Spend model | Recurring OpEx | Asset creation + controlled run |
| Value | Access to features | Owned IP |
| Control | Vendor-driven | Enterprise-owned |
| ROI | Hard to quantify | Clear asset ROI |
| Long-term cost | Increases over time | Decreases over time |

FAQs
Is SaaS Exit Sprint about replacing our entire SaaS platform?
No. We selectively replace high-value workflows, not full platforms.
Do we need to migrate data or users during the sprint?
No forced migrations. The solution runs alongside your existing systems with controlled integrations.
Is this an IT initiative or a financial one?
Both. The primary outcome is financial: turning recurring SaaS OpEx into an owned digital asset.
How is this different from a typical AI or automation project?
We deliver production-ready, owned systems with security, monitoring, and governance — not prototypes.
Does this increase operational or security risk?
No. Narrow scope, parallel run, and enterprise-grade controls reduce risk.
What happens after the 6–8 weeks?
You decide: expand asset creation, reduce SaaS dependency, or keep the system as is.
How do we know if this is right for us?
That’s exactly what the sprint is designed to answer — with a working system and quantified outcomes.
SaaS Exit Sprint is the entry point to SaaS independence.
If you’re questioning whether it still makes sense to rent critical workflows forever, let’s talk.
