    Compliance is now an architecture decision

    Compliance used to mean software licenses. In 2026, it means a lot more, and the decisions being made in your IT architecture today are setting your regulatory risk for years to come.  Xensam's Joel Sanderi sits down with Rory Canavan (SAM Charter) and David Foxen (SAM Beast Consulting) to unpack how regulation is reshaping IT design, what a $70 million SEC fine teaches us about asset management, and why the risk register sitting in your drawer might be your best defense when things go wrong.

    AI reality check

    Everyone's talking about what AI can do. Fewer people are talking about what it's costing and who's actually in control.  In this episode, Xensam's Joel Sanderi is joined by May Turnbull (SAM Assured) and Alexander Golev (SAMexpert) to dig into the side of AI that doesn't make the headlines: shadow AI, token-based licensing nobody can predict, and the governance gaps that are quietly becoming a boardroom problem.

  3. The State of SaaS Q1 2026

    The State of SaaS Q1 2026

    Over a million business users. Five data snapshots. One uncomfortable truth: many organizations have no idea what software their people are actually using. Based on Xensam's own research, the Q1 2026 SaaS report tracks real usage data across corporate devices, and the findings are hard to ignore. In this episode, host Joel Sanderi sits down with David Foxen from SAM Beast Consulting and Xensam's Martin Tureniec to react to the numbers. They get into AI tool sprawl (ChatGPT vs. Copilot vs. Claude and who's actually winning), why high reach numbers don't mean what IT leaders think they mean, and the browser extension problem nobody is governing.
