For over a decade, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has dominated the global software industry. From CRM and ERP systems to developer tools, SaaS transformed how businesses buy and use technology.

But today, a critical question is emerging:

Is the traditional SaaS model breaking down in the age of AI?

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has long argued that the SaaS industry was structurally weak and overdue for consolidation even before the AI boom. Artificial intelligence didn’t create the problem — it accelerated it.

How the Traditional SaaS Model Worked

The classic SaaS playbook relied on:

  • Subscription pricing and user licenses
  • Feature expansion to justify higher costs
  • Dashboards and manual workflows
  • Humans operating software daily

This model thrived because software required constant user interaction. More features meant more perceived value.

AI challenges this assumption.

 

AI Agents Are Changing Software Usage

The real disruption isn’t just AI-assisted development — it’s the rise of AI agents.

AI agents can:

  • Understand user intent
  • Select the right tools or APIs
  • Execute tasks across systems
  • Deliver outcomes without dashboards

Instead of using software, users now define goals — and agents handle execution. This fundamentally shifts how software creates value.

 

From SaaS Tools to Outcome-Driven Systems

In an AI-driven world:

  • Users want results, not tools
  • Interfaces matter less than orchestration
  • APIs matter more than features
  • Intelligence becomes the product

This explains why many feature-heavy SaaS platforms feel bloated. When outcomes are automated, complexity becomes friction.

 

SaaS Isn’t Dead — It’s Becoming Infrastructure

SaaS is not disappearing.
It’s evolving into foundational infrastructure.

The new software stack looks like:

  • SaaS platforms providing reliable services and APIs
  • AI agents acting as the experience layer
  • Orchestration replacing manual workflows

The future belongs to agent-first, composable, and outcome-driven platforms.

 

What This Means for IT Companies

For IT service providers and product companies, this shift is critical.

Building software only for human operation is no longer enough. The next generation of solutions must be:

  • AI-first
  • Designed for orchestration
  • Focused on business outcomes, not interfaces

 

Final Thought

SaaS isn’t dead.
But SaaS as we knew it is being rewritten.

The real question is:
Are we building software for people to click buttons — or systems where AI agents execute intent on their behalf?

Those who adapt early will shape the future of enterprise software.

How startups are cutting cloud costs, renegotiating deals with service providers https://ribtechnology.com/how-startups-are-cutting-cloud-costs-renegotiating-deals-with-service-providers/ https://ribtechnology.com/how-startups-are-cutting-cloud-costs-renegotiating-deals-with-service-providers/#respond Mon, 10 Apr 2023 08:19:08 +0000 https://tecnologia.vamtam.com/?p=8435 As global macroeconomic conditions worsen and funding slowdown continues, Indian startups are cutting their spends on an integral part of tech businesses.

As global macroeconomic conditions worsen and funding slowdown continues, Indian startups are cutting their spends on an integral part of tech businesses – cloud storage – by renegotiating contracts with service providers like AWS and Google Cloud, multiple startup founders told ET.

Many of these companies have slashed cloud expenses by 20%-30% while some growth stage startups such as ecommerce platforms Meesho and Dealshare have brought down their cloud expenses by 50%, under pressure to control their cash burn, they said.

This has led to the top three cloud service providers – Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure – waging pricing wars to lure startups onto their platforms in the current downturn.

Over the past months, several startups have been approached by AWS rivals to switch over for lesser pricing, multiple founders who have been in talks with them confirmed.

In some instances, founders are using pricing quotes received from Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure to renegotiate discounted contracts with AWS, their primary cloud service provider, said one of the founders.

Cybersecurity ecosystem

The Data Security Council of India has forecast that the cybersecurity ecosystem will expand up to a point where nearly one million professionals will be required by 2025. Additionally, the demand for cloud security skills is estimated to grow by 115% between 2020 and 2025, representing almost 20,000 job openings, Narayan added.

An extensive exercise in reskilling and/or upskilling the existing workforce, believe staffing experts, is one of the ways that telcos can future proof their work.

Indian mobile phone operators are expected to at least double their investments on network security with the 5G roll out expected to spark a surge in network vulnerabilities, which assume critical importance especially for enterprises.

However, it is already proving to be a challenge for telcos to have robust security teams.

Bharti Airtel, for example, has been preparing for 5G roll out by upskilling its professionals and offering them certification courses such as CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional). The courses are offered based on skill and eligibility level free of cost.
