Jesse Levin, CEO at BetterCloud, says, “CFOs reduced SaaS budgets, vendors and licenses last year and now are focused on sustainable cost containment. Contract negotiations and license reductions deliver one-time savings insufficient for enduring, efficient growth. Most SaaS vendors are introducing AI features to increase price as an offset to license declines. Shortly, AI autonomous agents will disrupt legacy SaaS user and license definitions. Together, G2’s and BetterCloud’s unique data scale and market reach will create a trusted source for IT buyer clarity in the face of these operating complexities. With G2 Track, BetterCloud now empowers IT to automatically govern distributed software spending and license access. Today’s announcement builds on recent momentum shipping a record volume of product innovations and receiving recognition as a Top 50 Best Software Product. Most importantly, this deal furthers our mission to elevate IT’s business impact at a critical moment where IT Directors balance supporting efficiency and productivity as the honest broker between Finance and business leaders.”
Godard Abel, CEO at G2, says “G2 continues to innovate around how to build independent sources of intelligence to help SaaS buyers and sellers. This new partnership with BetterCloud, which includes their acquisition of Track, accelerates G2’s ability to arm IT decision-makers with valuable buyer intelligence. We look forward to partnering with BetterCloud to unlock the collective wisdom of the IT buyer crowd and further our mission of being the ultimate destination for B2B software and services.”
