I am a product development manager at an enterprise company. This is just an opinion based on what I see. I don't have this issue exactly, but maintenance schedules of non-saas software is much harder to manage, budget, purchase, etc. It's not hair-on-fire for me -- I have a spreadsheet. Saas is actually easier, and we do all of the user management actively -- it's not a big deal (for our big Saas usage, it's tied to hiring/termination basically automatically) There are some things that are used across all dev departments, like MSDN subscriptions, that are challenging to manage. We use a shared spreadsheet in sharepoint -- works fine -- I doubt anyone thinks this is a huge issue for us. If you were thinking of doing this -- I think the way to go is to take the whole job -- not just give me what is basically a shared spreadsheet on the web, but perhaps tie into the Saas and see how it's being used and offer savings ideas (20% of your users don't use featureX). Try to find one really hard to manage product and align yourself as being perfect for managing that (Salesforce, Dynamics, MSDN?, -- things that an entire department uses across a whole company)
