Hero workflow
An email-shaped interface for a category-defining problem. No new tab. No new login. The decision comes back inside the workflow you already use.
The questions Sam answers
Ask any procurement question in plain language. Sam checks it against your stack, the live software market, your policy and your contracts. Then returns an answer with sources.
Plays nicely
Samplify isn't another SAM tool, procurement tool or EA tool. It reads from each of them and gives the approver a defensible answer before the workflow advances.
Flexera · Snow · ServiceNow SAM Pro · Apptio · Ivanti · USU
Your SAM tool tells you what you own and what you're paying for it. Samplify uses that ground truth to answer whether you should keep paying for it.
The catalog stays where it lives. Samplify reads from it.
Coupa · Ariba · Zip · Workday · ServiceNow Procurement
Your procurement tool runs the request, the approval, and the contract. Samplify gives the approver a defensible answer before the workflow advances.
Samplify lives one step before the PR. The PO is still raised in your system of record.
LeanIX · Ardoq · ServiceNow CMDB · Mega · Software AG
Your EA tool holds the application taxonomy, the capability map, the lifecycle stage. Samplify reads it as the spine for every comparison.
No new architecture model. No re-mapping. The EA picture you already maintain is the one Samplify reasons against.
The answer shape
The same workflow whether the verb is BUY, RENEW, REPLACE or REJECT. Stylised from real Sam decisions. Vendor names real, internal numbers fictional.
Should we approve a Notion Enterprise rollout for 800 seats?
Confluence and Jira already cover 88% of the requested capabilities for 9,600 licensed users. The remaining 12% (lightweight wiki, project boards) is met by Confluence Whiteboards, live since the November release. Estimated avoided spend: $312k year one.
Should we approve ChatGPT Enterprise for 4,200 knowledge workers?
M365 E5 already includes Copilot for all 4,200 users in scope. Adoption is 38%. A usage problem, not a licence problem. A second AI assistant would add $2.5M/year for capability already paid for. Recommend Copilot enablement programme instead.
Approve Loom Business for the enablement team, 240 seats?
Stream and Clipchamp ship inside the existing E5 entitlement and cover screen capture, trim, transcript and SharePoint hosting. Two pilot teams already use Stream for the same workflow. Avoided spend: $74k/year.
Calendly renewal is up. Should we renew at 1,180 seats?
M365 Bookings is already entitled and covers external scheduling, round-robin and team availability. 96% feature parity for the booked use cases. Migrate over a quarter and recover $186k/year. Two teams have already self-migrated.
We have 47 Confluence plugins on the renewal list. Which should we keep?
12 plugins are now native in Confluence Cloud (whiteboards, databases, smart links). 4 duplicate Lucidchart functionality already licensed. 9 have under 5% MAU. Consolidating to 22 active plugins recovers $241k/year and reduces audit surface.
Zapier renewal. Should we move to the Team plan at $39k/year?
Power Automate is included in E5 and covers 87% of the active 142 Zaps. Of the remaining 13%, 6 connectors are on the Power Automate roadmap for Q3. Migration effort estimated at 6 engineering weeks; payback inside one renewal cycle.
Marketing wants Asana for 320 seats. Approve?
Monday.com is the approved standard for project work and already supports 1,840 users across Ops and RevOps. The features cited in the request (timeline, workload, forms) are at parity. Onboard the marketing team to the existing tenant. No new contract.
Do we have anything that maps our AI usage to EU AI Act categories?
No tool in the stack covers Annex III risk classification or model registry obligations. ServiceNow GRC handles policy but not model inventory. With the August 2026 high-risk deadline, this is a real gap. Recommend shortlist of three vendors; PoV scope drafted.
Datadog renewal at $4.1M. Replace with Azure Monitor or renew?
Azure Monitor covers 71% of in-scope features but lacks the APM and security signal correlation 14 production teams depend on. Migration cost (engineering + risk window) exceeds three-year savings. Renew, but at -8% on negotiated band using the Q4 commit lever.
Salesforce Service Cloud renewal. Keep or move to Dynamics?
480 agents, 92% adoption, top-quartile case-resolution time. Workflow depth (Omni-Channel, Einstein routing) materially exceeds Dynamics in the configured use cases. Renew on the three-year band; growth allowance negotiated to 8% from 14%.

The shape of every answer
Verb
Reasoning
"M365 E5 already includes Copilot for all 4,200 users in scope. A second AI assistant adds $2.5M a year for capability already paid for."
Evidence
88% feature overlap. 38% adoption. $312k year-one avoided spend.
Sources
M365 admin centre · Copilot usage · Vendor proposal · IT-security review
Whether it arrives in an inbox, a Teams thread or a ServiceNow ticket, the shape is the same. The decision is portable.
Four decision verbs
Every Samplify answer ends in one of four moves. No "it depends." No 40-page briefing. A verb, a rationale, a source.
The request fills a gap nothing in the stack covers. Approve it, log the rationale, set a renewal review.
Usage justifies the contract. No approved alternative meets the feature bar. Renew at the negotiated band.
A tool you already own meets or exceeds the requested capability. Switch to what's approved and recover the spend.
The request fails the substitutability test, security review or budget rationale. Block it with the audit trail attached.
