Episode 76 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo dives into SaaS usage caps — the hidden contract clause costing Fortune 500s millions in overage fees. Lucas and Luna break down a real case from a global retailer that hit its user limit on Salesforce mid-Q4, triggering automatic billing at 2.5x the contracted rate. They explore how procurement teams are now negotiating preemptive caps with tiered pricing, usage buffers, and audit rights to prevent surprise charges. Specific examples include Microsoft 365's seat-based caps versus Snowflake's consumption-based overage penalty structure. The episode also covers the rise of 'cap-plus' clauses that allow upward adjustments at fixed percentages, and how one logistics firm saved $4.2 million annually by capping its Workday usage at 90% of forecast. A practical deep dive for anyone in enterprise IT procurement or vendor management. #SaaS #Procurement #UsageCaps #EnterpriseTech #Fortune500 #VendorManagement #Salesforce #Microsoft365 #Snowflake #Workday #ContractNegotiation #OverageFees #CostControl #ITProcurement #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
