S2E5: SaaS Management: Who owns that app??
Companies go through cycles of technology management and determining who owns what app can sometimes amount to war. Does marketing own and manage their own apps? What about when marketing needs IT’s help to manage domains or SSO? Does IT get Super Admin access? Or does marketing give up full ownership of their apps to IT? The answer is… it depends. Watch on to find out!

SaaS Showdown S2E4: SaaS Companies that SUCK
We love SaaS! But some SaaS companies seriously SUCK. Strategies surrounding inane practices and crazy acquisition sprees turn some of our favorite tools into zombie shells of their former selves in the name of consolidation. Others have UI flaws that seem to be a feature instead of a bug but drive everyone crazy. In this episode, we are not pulling our punches, and this is by no means a complete list, there are many more offenders out there that we will have to cover in a future episode. Enjoy!

S2E2: Single Pane of Glass, and despite best efforts.... email is totally not dead
The term single pane of glass has been around for a long time, its origins are rooted in security to be able to monitor systems all in one place.
As systems have evolved we now have many applications that are striving to be the one application to rule them all, from Google Workspace, to Slack, to Teams, Zoom, and beyond the collaboration space as well. The problem is, there are many orgs that are using best in class software and yet are still using Google Workspace, Slack, and Zoom, so is Single Pane of Glass working?
Thanks to companies utilizing softwares like this, there are deep level integrations but how long will that last as each one builds out their own suites?

S2E1: Document Collaboration and introducing SaaSOps Cat!
Welcome to the new season of SaaS Showdown! We have upgraded our setups to enable video show recording so now you can see us in living color! We have a very exciting season lined up covering topics ranging from Document Collaboration to Platform Wars and beyond. Unlike last season we will be releasing our episodes every other week, so be sure to subscribe to the TABGeeks Youtube Channel and click the bell to get notified when new episodes are released!
Back in the early days of the internet, document collaboration was plagued by differing, often unreadable, file formats, and never-ending file names similar to ImportantPresentationV4.3FinalFinalFinalForRealThisTimeNoActuallyReallyTheLastOneISwearFINAL.doc. How did we collaborate back then!?!? Thankfully the advent of the collaborative document mostly saved us from that insanity and unlocked a whole new world of collaborative apps and capabilities. Will we ever see a world where all of the collaborative items are integrated into our collaborative docs and viewable across all platforms? Join us for our thoughts on the progression of collaboration and where we go from here!

S1E8: Sources of Truth
Now that you are comfortable with your SaaS setup, it’s time to take it up a notch. One of the biggest problems to watch out with SaaS is having multiple SaaS Apps overlapping and recording duplicates of some data, and not recording other data. What we mean by this is you need to have a single source of truth, one platform that rules them all to make sure that when that app says this person was terminated, they were actually terminated. There are many great ways to set this up, and when you get really good, you can even begin automating tasks based on employee status in your source of truth.
