How to choose AI and SaaS management platform

For IT teams, a SaaS Management Platform (SMP) provides a system of record for SaaS inventory, access, usage, spend, and ownership so you can scale SaaS without scaling risk or manual work.

Most organizations already use hundreds of SaaS applications and must work to continuously manage and optimize access. However, spreadsheets, ticket queues, and periodic audits were never designed to keep up with constant SaaS change. As a result, IT teams struggle with incomplete visibility, inconsistent access control, and ongoing license waste.
