In this session, we break down The SaaS Margin Trap, the fundamental shift happening in cloud software distribution, and expose why relying strictly on seat commissions and basic provisioning fees is a race to the bottom.

More importantly, we outline the 5 New Operational Standards that allow IT service providers to stop competing on price, eliminate account churn, and transform into high-margin Workflow Architects.
