Big Tech is fundamentally reshaping how we license SaaS, and it’s a change that demands immediate attention.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is sounding the alarm, the shift from per-user pricing to per-agent pricing is here, and it’s impacting everything.
This isn’t just about Microsoft; Anthropic and Google are following suit.
The implications are significant.
Operating costs, budgeting, and long-term financial planning all need to be re-evaluated.
We’re moving towards a model where we pay for outcomes delivered by AI, not simply for user licenses.
My question for the executive team:
Are you factoring this new agentic AI licensing model into your operating cost projections and financial planning?
Are you prepared for a future where we’re paying for the work of AI agents, not just the people using them?
