Look at your monthly software bill and you’ll likely find a pile of overlapping SaaS tools, half barely used. AI makes a different model possible — consolidating many of those workflows into one orchestrated layer. Here’s how to do it without disruption, and how dgm helps. (dgm implements osFoundry, a separate company’s platform — we are not osFoundry.)

What you’re really cutting

The license fees are visible, but the bigger cost is the sprawl itself: time lost switching between tools, the same data duplicated across systems, integration glue to keep them in sync (that breaks), and the cognitive load of administering it all. Consolidating with AI cuts both the licenses and that hidden tax.

How AI replaces SaaS workflows

AI changes the equation because an orchestration layer can carry out the work that previously required separate tools — reading and writing across your data, running the agents and automations that do the job, from one place. Where a dedicated tool is genuinely best-in-class, you keep it; where tools mostly exist to move data around, AI can absorb that work.

The method: phased, not big-bang

  1. Map the stack. What you run, what overlaps, and what each tool actually costs (see how to audit your SaaS spend and AI tooling audit).
  2. Target clear wins. Consolidate workflows where AI is plainly better or where tools just shuffle data.
  3. Keep what works. Don’t replace genuinely strong tools for the sake of it.
  4. Migrate carefully. One workflow at a time, proving the consolidated version before retiring the old tool (see how to migrate off legacy SaaS to AI).

This lowers cost and complexity steadily, without betting your operation on a single cutover.

How dgm helps

dgm maps your stack in its $399 assessment, then consolidates overlapping workflows onto an AI-orchestrated layer — osFoundry is built to consolidate SaaS rather than be one more subscription — in phases at $3,999/month, keeping what works and migrating carefully (see SaaS consolidation with AI). For many businesses the single cost replaces several subscriptions. If you’d rather explore the platform yourself first, go straight to osFoundry; if you want your stack consolidated carefully, that’s where dgm comes in.
