Total Cost of Ownership
$100-$250/user/month
Requires dedicated admins and external consultants
Complex, requires SI partners and months of deployment
Multiple point solutions needed to complete the modern workflow
Disruption Risk
- Business model relies on human seat licenses, which AI agents will reduce
- Built for systems of record, not systems of action/intelligence
- Technical debt prevents native AI-first workflows
