Be honest—how many software tools is your company using right now? Five? Ten? Fifty? Try 660. That’s the average number of SaaS apps large enterprises juggle today, costing an eye-popping $284 million in annual spend.
And yet, most companies don’t even realize how much waste is hiding in their tech stacks.
SaaS sprawl isn’t just a budget issue—it slows teams down, creates security risks, and forces IT to spend more time managing tools instead of driving innovation.
At Empower 2025, IT leaders who’ve tackled this chaos will share how they cut costs, streamlined their tech stacks, and freed IT from endless maintenance. Join us to hear their strategies—and take control of your own IT sprawl.

Tech Stack Overload? Here’s How Quickbase Helps You Take Control
Let’s set the record straight. IT consolidation isn’t about tearing everything down and starting over. It’s about making your systems work together without the clutter, inefficiencies, or never-ending maintenance headaches.
That’s where Quickbase steps in.
1. One Platform, Infinite Possibilities
Quickbase streamlines key use cases and reduces redundancy—cutting costs without forcing you to replace essential tools.
2. Custom Apps Without the Development
Business users can build applications tailored to their exact needs—without writing a single line of code. This means fewer one-off software purchases, less IT intervention, and a streamlined technology landscape that reduces costs and complexity.
3. Future-Proof Your Tech with AI-Ready Systems
When your data is connected and your processes are streamlined, you're set up to harness AI for automation, smarter analytics, and continuous improvement—without the cleanup headaches.
4. Seamless Integrations (No More Data Silos)
Quickbase connects with your existing systems to sync data, automate workflows, and eliminate workarounds. That means:
- Say goodbye to manual data entry.

- Get a single source of truth.
5. Automation That Ends Gray Work
Manual, repetitive tasks? Gone! Quickbase automates workflows across teams, reducing delays and increasing efficiency.
6. Security & Governance, Without the Roadblocks
Fewer systems mean fewer risks. With everything in one place, it’s easier to control access, enforce security policies, and stay compliant—without adding complexity.
With too many disconnected tools, IT teams spend more time maintaining systems than driving innovation. Quickbase simplifies your tech stack, reducing inefficiencies and giving you the agility to adapt as your business evolves. Here’s what that means for you:
- Eliminate redundant tools by unifying them into one adaptable platform.
- Reduce software costs by up to 30%by cutting duplicate licenses and underused applications.
- Reduce IT backlog by empowering those closest to the work to build, adapt, and support solutions—without relying on IT for every request.
- Gain complete visibility by consolidating scattered data and workflows into a centralized system.
- Enhance tech stack security with greater in-product governance policies and standards
