Day-0 at CloudEagle – Vendr + Blissfully + G2/Gartner

CloudEagle Mission from Day 0

Customer-obsessed outcome-focused company – these are our guiding principles from  Day-0. Providing SaaS visibility is fine, it is the partial outcome. So is haggling with SaaS vendors on price – partial outcome.

The real outcome of SaaS visibility or SaaS negotiations is when our customers realize SaaS savings in their current SaaS stack and buy the best SaaS applications at the best price. Getting these outcomes in the least amount of time, so they can focus on growing their business.

From Day-0, CloudEagle has been built ground up as a combined SaaS management, research, and procurement platform.

Mergers and acquisitions

Vendr, a SaaS buying company recently acquired Blissfully, a SaaS management company. We at CloudEagle and all our investors were very excited to see this merger/acquisition since all of us believed that this is what is needed for customers. We’ve been building on our vision of a combined SaaS management, research, and buying platform right from Day-0.

We’ve followed a few M&A transactions in this space. How well have they integrated and kept their promises? Time has already told us the answer, since we do not deal with any of these companies in our day-to-day competition head-on anymore.

LeanIX acquired Cleanshelf

ServiceNow acquires VendorHawk

Microsoft acquires Suplari

Sailpoint acquires Intello

Flexera acquires Meta SaaS

Apptio acquires SaaSLicense

As you may know from your experiences, merging two companies is a tough task. Blissfully has been a product company and Vendr a services company. The employees hired, culture, technical/sales talent, and mindset of both these companies are different. We wish them all the best since we want to have great competition, however, we are also aware of the tough challenges ahead with a lot of employees already leaving, customers churning, and products and features being sunset.
