About ICEYE
ICEYE operates a synthetic-aperture radar satellite constellation designed to deliver monitoring capabilities for any location on earth. ICEYE’s radar satellite imaging service, designed to deliver very frequent coverage, both day and night, helps clients resolve challenges in sectors such as maritime, disaster management, insurance, and finance.
Growth
For ICEYE to develop satellites, it utilizes a lot of SaaS technology across its various departments like engineering, data science, monitoring etc. ICEYE had grown from 250+ employees in 2021 to 400+ employees in 2022. With growth in business, the employee count grew rapidly and so did the onboarding of newer applications and expanding on existing ones.
Challenge
With growth in business and expansion of apps, the IT and Finance team did not have enough bandwidth to track every application’s renewal and negotiate with each vendor. Due to their security posture, they wanted a non-intrusive solution that would manage all vendors right from evaluation to negotiation and signing.
