About this event

A private dinner for C-suite leaders on what it actually takes to move off legacy SaaS — on your own terms. Emmanuel Frenehard, Sanofi’s Chief Digital Officer, will share how Sanofi is using Elementum to replace legacy SaaS procurement, ITSM and CRM systems, building workflows custom to their business and taking back control of their data. Expect a small, conversational setting — no panel, no pitch deck marathon — just a real conversation over dinner with people facing the same decisions you are.
