Enterprise Tech with Fexingo · 2026-07-23 · 7 min
Episode 129 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dive into a growing battle in enterprise software contracts: how often vendors can audit their largest customers. With Microsoft and Oracle ramping up compliance checks, Fortune 500 procurement teams are pushing back with audit frequency caps - limiting audits to once every 12 months or tying them to actual non-compliance risk. The hosts break down a real clause from a recent $50 million Salesforce renegotiation, explain why vendors hate caps (audits are a revenue lever), and explore how customers use benchmark data from groups like Gartner to justify their stance. If you negotiate software contracts, this one's for you. #EnterpriseSoftware #VendorAudits #SoftwareProcurement #Fortune500 #ContractNegotiation #Microsoft #Oracle #Salesforce #SaaSLicense #AuditFrequency #Compliance #Gartner #BusinessAndTechnology #EnterpriseTech #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ProcurementStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
