13. Don't Just Assume SaaS Is Cheaper
SaaS model tools can be 1/4 to 1/2 the cost of a comparable perpetual
tool in the first year. However, in subsequent years, the cost of SaaS
may actually surpass the perpetual model.

• Determine your IT I&O Maturity Level
• Develop a systematic, prioritized road map for
continual and long term IT I&O improvement
• Make a coordinated ITSD or ITSSM tool decision
that relates to your IT I&O Maturity Level.
• Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of
perpetual vs. SaaS when choosing a new tool.
• Build a 5 Year TCO analysis of perpetual vs.
