Recognized as “a benchmark for thought leadership in SaaS Management,” Zylo’s podcast earns industry acclaim for its candid conversations and standout guests
INDIANAPOLIS – April 29, 2025 – Zylo, the enterprise leader in SaaS Management, today announced it has been honored with a Silver Stevie® Award in the Podcast category in the 2025 American Business Awards®. The recognition celebrates SaaSMe Unfiltered, the first podcast of its kind, in which IT, Procurement, and SAM leaders discuss the realities of managing SaaS and software.
Co-hosted by Zylo’s CMO Meredith Albertson and Chief Customer Officer Cory Wheeler, SaaSMe Unfiltered delivers sharp, candid conversations with a standout lineup of industry experts. Guests have included leaders from brands like Adobe, Netflix, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Zoetis, Coinbase, and Atlassian.
“SaaS Management has become a critical business strategy, especially in today’s uncertain economic environment,” said Albertson. “With SaaS spend now averaging $4,800 per employee—up 22% from last year—organizations are under increasing pressure to operate more efficiently. Effective SaaS Management creates real opportunities to save money, fuel innovation, and preserve jobs. Our goal has always been to show what SaaS Management looks like in practice: real stories, real frameworks, real impact. This recognition is such a powerful validation of that mission.”
Judges praised the podcast’s refreshing authenticity. One judge noted, “It doesn’t sound like a polished, buzzword-filled B2B podcast, and that’s a good thing. It feels real. The conversations actually sound like the kind of stuff people say behind closed doors. That’s what builds trust.” Another judge highlighted its “strong topic diversity, guest expertise, and category-first positioning,” calling it “a standout submission” and “a benchmark for thought leadership in SaaS Management.”
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations — public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. Widely recognized for their prestige, the Stevie has become one of the world’s most coveted prizes. More than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories.
