Challenge
As a growing residential and commercial services company, managing our expanding SaaS stack became increasingly difficult. We relied on spreadsheets to track apps, but as our software portfolio grew, the process became time-consuming and inefficient.
Many teams purchased SaaS tools independently, without IT approval, leading to a rise in unsanctioned apps and shadow IT. With no centralized visibility, it was nearly impossible to identify who was using which tools, creating security risks and management challenges.
Solution
- The company chose CloudEagle.ai for its all-in-one SaaS management platform, providing complete visibility into every application in its stack.
- CloudEagle integrated with their Workday system in just 30 minutes, centralizing app usage, and spend tracking in one dashboard.
- With full SaaS visibility, the IT team could proactively detect and eliminate shadow IT, optimizing their SaaS usage and costs.
- CloudEagle’s real-time alert system notified the IT team of any unsanctioned apps, ensuring better control and compliance.
Why CloudEagle.ai?
The company evaluated several solutions but chose CloudEagle.ai for the following reasons:
- 90-day renewal workflows gave ample time to plan, compare options, and avoid last-minute renewals.
- Integration with SSO and finance systems centralized vendors and spend data for better transparency.
- AI-powered metadata extraction automated contract tracking for clear renewal visibility.
- The expert team helped cancel unnecessary auto-renewals and negotiate better vendor terms, boosting ROI and cutting SaaS costs.
