With the current shift from on-premises software to SaaS, many midsize and large companies are facing the same challenges: an array of SaaS providers, a lack of transparency of usage within the company, and a loss of control that can lead to high and unplanned expenses.
The demands on modern IT have become increasingly complex, and not just because of Corona. Software asset management must reliably ensure quality, high availability and agility.
The past year has brought changes to many companies that would have normally taken the market years to adopt. Some even call it a revolution. A large part of the workforce was sent to work from home, which increased the acceptance of SaaS solutions.
You want total insight into your SaaS environment to manage your investment. From the USU solution dashboard, you can monitor usage and storage limits, customize workflows, and re-harvest unused licences. Here’s how it works:
It’s good business to avoid paying for subscriptions and services you don’t use. Deactivate unused accounts, analyze inactivity hotspots, and monitor unexpected consumption and over-limit charges.
Avoid unnecessary purchasing with features like automatically reusing subscriptions. You can also monitor compliance metrics like maximum storage space and indirect access when integrating with other business applications.
Keep your environment secure and your costs low by always knowing who has access to your cloud applications. This lets you manage your subscriptions and eliminate unauthorized access.
Go beyond simple usage overviews to reliable reports that reflect your changing business needs. Want to monitor your company’s footprint without a lot of effort? Our solution shows you detailed usage so you can make business-driven decisions about your cloud subscriptions.
