The SaaD Audit Sheet
Stop confusing growth with headcount. Download Linear COO Cristina Cordova's frameworks for scaling lean: collapsible teams, hiring filters, chaos diagnosis and the only 3 metrics that matter.
Software sprawl is bleeding your business dry. When you have 100 different apps inside a single company, your data is scattered everywhere. Leaders struggle to get a clear picture, often feeling like they’re flying blind. Employees spend countless hours re-entering the same information into multiple systems, losing valuable time. Budgets get drained on redundant software licenses. And all that complexity slows businesses down.
At Rippling, we call that Software as a Disservice — SaaD.
How do you stop SaaD from draining your business’ time, money, and employees? To start, you need to see how deep SaaD runs in your org.
That’s why we built the SaaD Audit Sheet, a diagnostic tool that:
Count your tools: How many apps does each department really depend on?
Track your spend: How much are you burning on shelfware and duplicate licenses?
Expose your risks: Where are the blind spots in onboarding, offboarding, and access?
Think of it as step one: a clear-eyed snapshot of your software sprawl. Once you can see the cost of SaaD— in time, money, and productivity—the path forward becomes obvious: The future of work is unified.
