What is a SaaS Management Platform?

A SaaS management platform (SMP), like FinQuery Software Management, discovers, manages, automates, and optimizes software and SaaS applications in a single system of record for an organization.

These SaaS management tools provide full visibility into software usage and costs for both IT and finance and are critical to software management and spend optimization, supporting data-driven decisions.

An SMP is part of a comprehensive software asset management solution providing continuous SaaS discovery and creating transparency for access, usage, and administrative information, like financial, contract, and governance data, in a single dashboard.

How does SaaS Operations Management Discover Savings?

SaaS management software empowers IT operations administrators to enhance the utilization and security of SaaS applications. They assist organizations in comprehending the following:

  • Which software applications are being used
  • To what extent they are being used
  • Who has access

FinQuery’s Software Management solution is a SaaS management platform that automatically detects your organization’s software applications, eliminating shadow IT and preventing software sprawl.

With direct integrations, browser extensions, and plug-ins, FinQuery Software Management works with the tools you already have to provide full visibility into your software usage and help you manage your software portfolio.

In addition to the savings you get from discovering overlapping and underutilized apps, FinQuery’s Software Management platform also saves you time with an easy-to-use software catalog for employees, alerts for newly discovered software and upcoming renewal dates, automated employee offboarding, and more.

Relying on manual processes to manage software and software spend is tedious, but using the right software management solution simplifies software spend optimization, aligns IT and finance teams, and increases overall transparency.

SaaS Management: Why Now?

The average organization has more than 125 SaaS applications, creating headaches for IT and big expenses for finance. In fact, SaaS is one of the top three expenses for many organizations, with an average per employee spend of more than $3500/yr and growing…

Don’t think you’re one of those organizations? You may be surprised.

Gartner posits the average IT team is only aware of one-third of the software applications in use at their organization. Because software subscriptions are so prevalent and affordable to the individual, they’re often purchased on an employee p-card to solve a single-person or functional team problem without looping in the IT team.

All those unknown apps become shadow IT and are attached to shadow contracts and shadow spend.

While these purchases are usually made with good intent they add up to big headaches:

  • Software that has not been approved by IT may come with security risks or be hard to support.
  • Software licenses purchased without IT or finance’s knowledge may become zombie subscriptions the organization pays for but doesn’t use because no one remembers they have them.
  • Purchasing software outside the normal procurement process may also lead to duplicate or redundant subscriptions across teams resulting in less favorable pricing because a central negotiator and bulk discounts are not applied.

With every organization using some form of SaaS today, these issues are cropping up everywhere. But only about half of organizations are taking an organized approach to deal with it.

Leading organizations are seeking out SaaS management solutions with software spend management features, like FinQuery Software Management, to get better visibility and control over their software estate.

These software spend management features help companies discover, track, and optimize their software to mitigate risk, unlock savings, and improve efficiency. Companies that haven’t invested in a SaaS management solution are less capable of preventing things like wasted software spend, breached accounts, and wasted IT team time.
