Connector cost reviews are colliding with the analytical work those connectors keep running.
Data engineers need evidence for keeping critical data flows, while finance needs a defensible view of usage.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Finance asked me why we still pay for this connector, and I spent two days chasing dashboards.”
Eleni Colombo · Data Engineering Manager
Leads an enterprise data team that operates SaaS connectors and must justify their continued use to finance and analytics leaders.
What is at stake
Enterprise data teams are rebuilding evidence for connector decisions from spreadsheets and dashboards. You must weigh a useful first view of analytical value against claims the data cannot support.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- cost scrutiny vs analytical continuity
- self-service evidence vs defensible attribution
- portfolio reuse vs connector-specific detail
- pilot speed vs customer trust
