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.
