Managed AI and the end of SaaS
For years, an unshakeable rule prevailed in the IT world: software is rented, not built. Software as a Service (SaaS) promised flexibility, low entry costs, and constant innovation – and thus became the standard answer to almost every digital problem. But this golden era is drawing to a close. Exploding subscription costs, bloated software portfolios, and often stagnant added value are increasingly driving companies into an expensive dependency. At the same time, artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the rules of software development: where legions of programmers once needed months, AI assistants now generate functional, customized prototypes in just a few days. This is leading to an economic paradigm shift. Instead of buying expensive, off-the-shelf standard solutions, companies are increasingly turning to "managed AI" and taking control of their IT architecture again. Read on to find out why the old "build-versus-buy" paradigm is obsolete, how IT decision-makers are reacting now, and why the future of enterprise software lies in intelligent orchestration.
