O365/Gsuite. Both of those are pretty much key to unlocking majority of business operations/functionality. Though identity management solution will be close near by as a top 5 as well.

I'm changing my tune on this. I recently subscribed to aha! and it's fast becoming critical to me. I can live without email and word, but the ability to model at an enterprise architecture level is key.

We use Microsoft PowerBI extensively at the company. Over 15,000 reports.
For our "corporate" reports, like financials or HR, we centralize those requests and attend them with my team.
We currently "extract" information from multiple systems (ie. SAP, SuccessFactors, CRM, etc...) and put in into a SQL Analysis Services. For interpreting the data we have a Semantics model in PBI.
The problem I see is we can't scale enough to comply with the reporting demands as the semantic model is "unique" and we end up having only one or two developers that can work at a time. 
Anyone has an idea how to scale their PBI teams without having to redevelop the semantic model per report?
