Effectively and efficiently manage SaaS licenses — regardless of their source
What is SaaS License Management?
SaaS license management is vital to cloud applications and services. As businesses continue to accelerate the enablement of cloud-based applications, the resulting complex SaaS infrastructure requires efficient execution. SaaS license management is the answer.
Also, SaaS users must assume ownership and be held accountable and SaaS management platforms provide a solution.
Effectively and efficiently manage SaaS licenses with application discovery (including Shadow IT), optimization, and contract renewal.
The Four Goals of SaaS License Management
SaaS Application Discovery
Track resource consumption of SaaS applications across the organization in a single view, enabling teams to discover redundancy.
Uncovering Shadow IT
Manage unauthorized SaaS proliferation and spend by bringing Shadow IT under central management.
License Optimization
Underutilized licenses can lead to program overspend, wasting valuable resources that could be deprovisioned or reallocated to maximize the value of the SaaS portfolio.
Contract Renewals
Without active license management and consolidation of duplicative contracts, SaaS costs can quickly grow, leading to budget overspend and ineffective use of SaaS applications.
The Definitive Framework for Application Rationalization
