As digital enterprises expand across hybrid infrastructures, SaaS ecosystems, and cloud native environments, IT estates are becoming increasingly distributed, dynamic, and complex. Traditional cost optimization approaches—often built around periodic audits and static visibility—are no longer sufficient to manage this scale and velocity.
Today, IT cost optimization is inseparable from strong asset governance and intelligent decision making. Enterprises must move beyond knowing what they own to understanding how assets behave, how risk propagates, and where action is required. This shift places IT Asset Management (ITAM), Software Asset Management (SAM), SaaS governance, cybersecurity asset intelligence, and SBOM driven transparency at the core of modern cost and risk control strategies.
At the CXO level, the focus is rapidly evolving from visibility to actionability—leveraging asset intelligence to drive automated responses, enforce policy, reduce waste, and proactively manage exposure across technology portfolios. In a landscape flooded with data, the real differentiator lies in converting insights into timely, orchestrated action.
With this context, Dun & Bradstreet, in collaboration with Silver Leaf and Eracent, is pleased to host a CXO roundtable titled “Navigating the Future of IT Cost Optimization in Evolving Tech Landscapes.”
The session will bring together senior technology, security, and finance leaders to explore how enterprises can embed asset intelligence into governance frameworks—enabling smarter cost controls, faster response to risk, and sustainable optimization at scale.

Key Points of Discussion with the Audience:
• From Visibility to Actionability: Why asset insight alone is no longer enough for effective IT cost optimization
• Strategic IT Asset Governance: Aligning ITAM, SAM, and SaaS governance with enterprise wide cost and risk objectives
• Asset Intelligence as a CXO Lever: Translating asset data into decision ready intelligence for leadership
• Managing SaaS Sprawl & Underutilization: Controlling costs in decentralized, subscription driven environments
• Cybersecurity Asset Intelligence: Understanding exposure across devices, applications, identities, and cloud workloads
• SBOM & Software Transparency: Using component level visibility to manage risk, compliance, and downstream cost impact
• Automation & Workflow Driven Optimization: Enabling proactive cost and risk actions through policy led, automated workflows (with and without AI)
• Operating at Scale: Governing dynamic IT estates without slowing innovation or agility
• Sustainable Cost Optimization: Building continuous optimization models rather than one time savings initiatives
