Key Highlights:

RingCentral didn't just eliminate duplicate SaaS apps; they realized significant ROI by saving approximately $250k.

Challenge

Previously, our IT team struggled to track all the SaaS apps across the organization efficiently. Constantly updating spreadsheets with app information, usage data, and their owners' details was time-consuming and hectic. 

Our IT teams were unsure if employees were using unsanctioned SaaS apps, and had no visibility on the extent of shadow IT within the organization.

The IT team dedicated most of their time to tracking duplicate SaaS apps and redundancies; they lacked time to focus on their core tasks, which resulted in decreased productivity. 

Optimizing SaaS management was necessary, but manually identifying redundant apps and underutilized licenses was challenging.

Solution

“CloudEagle swiftly onboarded and seamlessly integrated with our internal systems, providing full visibility into our SaaS stack. It enabled us to identify and remove duplicate and redundant apps, saving valuable time and leading to significant cost savings."
