“CloudEagle streamlined our license management, providing centralized visibility and valuable usage insights. Its license reclamation workflows made it easy to deprovision users, harvest unused licenses, and optimize spending.”
- Fred Chin, AVP, Head of IT Operations, RingCentral
RingCentral lacked centralized, real-time visibility into purchased licenses and its usage data. This affected their ability to assess the impact of unused licenses on ROI. The manual process of visiting each app to analyze license usage proved counterproductive for their IT teams and compromised the accuracy of SaaS license management.

They adopted CloudEagle for centralized license management. The platform seamlessly integrates with their tech stack, benefiting from its extensive integration library of over 500 apps, including their Salesforce connector, to ensure comprehensive visibility into licenses and usage. RingCentral identified unused licenses and implemented workflows to reclaim them.
RingCentral deprovisioned 932 users from underutilized licenses, and they harvested the licenses and reallocated them to new users. Automation helped them save time and costs in license management.
932 unused SaaS licenses were harvested through license reclamation workflows.
It was a major hassle for our IT teams to visit each application and gather SaaS license data. Constantly updating spreadsheets with license info, usage data, and renewal details was time-consuming and hectic. We didn’t know if the purchased licenses were being utilized efficiently.
Our IT teams spent excessive time tracking licenses instead of focusing on core tasks, leading to reduced productivity. Some applications, like Salesforce, didn't provide much return on investment.
Optimizing these licenses was necessary, but identifying unused or underutilized ones was challenging. Emailing 500 users to verify active licenses and managing responses for verification and revocation were difficult.
Recognizing the limitations of our manual process, we decided it was time for a change. I sought a streamlined solution to centralize all our information, save time, reduce errors, and streamline license management.
