Solving the Software Visibility Challenge

Software discovery is the cornerstone of effective Software Asset Management and enables crucial functions like cost management, risk mitigation, and license compliance. Without visibility of what they have, organizations are unable to make critical business decisions to optimize their IT environments.

The visibility challenge is made worse by the proliferation of cloud-based SaaS applications and the hybrid, decentralized conditions that allow unauthorized purchase and usage of these apps to flourish. The software landscape is evolving, and SAM technology should too.

Defense Against Shadow IT Utilization

It’s estimated that by 2025, 85% of business apps will be SaaS-based. It’s no wonder these flexible, highly accessible apps make up the majority of unauthorized software utilization. Xensam’s SaaS support offers a robust defense against shadow IT usage by flagging all applications with detected Active Usage.
