    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management CerteroX SAM

    Vendor-authoritative user and licence lists, and a provisioning and deprovisioning target.

    Mailbox, OneDrive and SharePoint activity land per user behind the one seat, so the licence and the evidence for it are never two records.

    Writes back

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management

    Identity sync including MFA enrolment, and a provisioning and deprovisioning target.

  • Box

    Writes back

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management

    Deprovisioning transfers file ownership before it deactivates the account.

    Provided by CerteroX AI Management

    Task, run and runset tracking with console logs, artifacts, stages and milestones.

  • Salesforce

    Reads only

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management CerteroX SAM

    The authoritative seat source, with every assignment read from Salesforce itself.

    Sales Cloud, Service Cloud and Platform licences are read as separate positions, each carrying its own last login and feature use. A tier recommendation then holds up in front of the licence owner.

    Applications, packages and jobs imported, then driven from the same console that sees them.

Marketing & analytics 16

Campaign, survey and analytics tools, where the seat outlives the campaign that justified it.

  • HubSpot

    Writes back

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management

    No suspend API exists, so there is a soft mode that strips roles and a hard mode that deletes.

    Organisation members and seat types, with the repositories and the CI/CD spend on one record.

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management

    The joiner, mover and leaver record that the rest of the connector set reconciles against.

    Host and guest relationships: what per-core and per-processor licensing actually turns on.

    SQL Server and Windows Server core licensing, Oracle licence pools and IBM sub-capacity PVU are all computed against which guest ran on which host.

    Read-only connector.

    Guest inventory across the open KVM virtualisation stack, host relationships included.

  • XenServer Provided by ITAM , SAM

    Read-only connector.

    Machine inventory, plus the Access Control rules that streamed-application licensing turns on.

Design & creative 12

Creative, prototyping and content tools, where an editor seat and a viewer seat are separate licence positions.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud

    Reads only

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management CerteroX SAM

    Named-user seats by product, with usage evidence over a rolling ninety-day window behind each one.

    The Admin Console says who holds a licence. The usage evidence says who opened it. Both land on one record, next to every other creative tool the same person is licensed for, and App Rationalization reads that record.

  • Abstract Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Version-control seats on a wound-down service: a dead tool still holding accounts is a finding.

  • Canva Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Team members separated from paid seats, and the design work each has done.

  • Contentful Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Every seat carries a space, a role, and the date the space was last opened.

  • FigJam Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    A FigJam-only seat carries its own licence, so it is counted on its own.

  • Figma Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Editor, developer and viewer seats told apart, so a full seat doing viewer work is visible.

  • Frame.io Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Reviewers and collaborators counted apart, with the projects each licence is still working in.

  • InVision Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Retired platform, live account list. The seats a shut-down tool still holds are the licence finding.

  • Lucidchart Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Full and lite seats held apart, with the documents behind each licence.

  • Mural Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Members, guests and licence assignment, with the boards each has worked on.

  • Sketch Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Editor seats and last activity, feeding App Rationalization against the other design tools.

  • Zeplin Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Seat types and the projects behind them, so an idle handoff licence is easy to spot.

Workflow & delivery 10

Where a finding has to travel before it becomes a change, and how the platform answers other systems.

  • Model Context Protocol

    Reads only

    Provided by CerteroX AI Management

    Every product exposes an MCP server, with scoped tokens and every tool call audited.

    It is an MCP client as well as a server, so an agent working here can reach a system through the MCP server that system already publishes. Tokens are scoped per organisation and every call is audited and quota-tracked, so a security review has something to sign off.

  • Boomi Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Platform users and roles, with the integrations each licensed seat still maintains.

  • GitHub Provided by Cloud

    Read-only connector.

    CI/CD cost pools and shareable environments with booking, SSH keys and webhooks.

  • Jenkins Provided by Cloud

    Read-only connector.

    CI/CD attribution, so build spend lands in a named cost pool rather than a shared bill.

  • Jira Provided by Cloud

    Read-only connector.

    A finding becomes a ticket, and the ticket carries the evidence that produced it.

  • Microsoft Power BI Provided by ITAM

    Read-only connector.

    A documented data source over the read-only Certero API, so your BI tool reads it in place.

  • Microsoft Teams Provided by SaaS

    Writes back

    Scheduled reporting-agent delivery into the channel that owns the decision.

  • MuleSoft Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Anypoint users and roles, with the environments each licence is entitled to reach.

  • Slack Provided by Cloud , SaaS

    Writes back

    Report delivery, plus a bot for pool alerts, TTL management and expense tracking.

  • Terraform Provided by Cloud

    Read-only connector.

    Declared infrastructure read into shareable environments, with booking, SSH keys and webhooks.

Security & compliance 15

Security, vulnerability and awareness tooling: licensed per person, and just as capable of being over-bought as anything else.

  • CrowdStrike

    Reads only

    Provided by CerteroX SaaS Management

    Falcon console accounts, the roles on each, and the modules that licence actually reaches.

    Security tooling is bought per person and reviewed by nobody. Reading the console users, their roles and their last activity puts the security stack on the same licence position as everything else, and on the same offboarding checklist, where an administrator account outliving its owner is the finding that matters.

  • Aikido Security Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Workspace members and roles, with the repositories each licensed seat is scanning.

  • Cisco Umbrella Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Administrative roles per console account, and the policies each one is able to change.

    Read-only connector.

    Account members, roles and Zero Trust seats, attributed to the team that owns the zone.

  • Illumio Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Each console seat carries a role, and the workloads behind it are read with it.

  • KnowBe4 Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Licensed users and training activity, so an idle awareness seat is visible before the renewal.

  • Microsoft Defender Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Portal users, roles and licence assignment, on the same record as the Microsoft seats.

  • Netskope Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Tenant administrators and roles, with the console each one has actually signed into.

  • Norton Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Subscription seats and their assignment, and the licences that were never activated.

  • Qualys Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Console users and roles, with the module entitlement sitting behind each licence.

  • Snyk Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Contributing developers counted apart from members, because the vendor licenses them apart.

  • Sophos Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Sophos Central administrators, their roles, and the seats licensed under them.

  • Tenable Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Users and roles, with the licence each one holds and the scans it has run.

Finance & operations 9

Finance, procurement and spend systems, where an approver role outlives the reason it was bought.

    Read-only connector.

    Users, approval roles and last activity, attributed to the department that holds the budget.

  • Sage Intacct Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Paid licences, the role each one carries, and the date it was last signed into.

  • Stripe Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Who can reach the dashboard, under which team role, and when they last did.

  • Workiva Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Reporting workspaces, the roles inside them, and the seat that still owns each report.

  • Xero Provided by SaaS

    Read-only connector.

    Sign-in dates per seat, held next to the permission level each one carries.

A card marked writes back can perform a named action against that system. Every other card in the directory only reads.

How it works

Connectors feed one model,
and the products read it.

A competitor with five acquired products carries five sets of connectors and a reconciliation project between them. We run one set into one model, and every connector in the directory above feeds it.

One asset model

Five disciplines,
one set of records.

One device record
Agent, agentless, network scan and third-party import all land in the same schema.
One user
Directory, identity provider and vendor seat lists reconciled to the same person.
One cost line
FOCUS-native billing across twelve cloud and data platforms, in one cost model.
One licence position
Entitlement, usage and evidence computed continuously, and current on the day an audit letter lands.
One policy engine
The same governance rules over assets, licences, SaaS, cloud and AI.

Answers out 3 surfaces

  • Read-only API

    A documented Certero API with a published Power BI data source. Your BI tool reads our data where it sits.

  • MCP server, on every product

    Scoped per-organisation tokens, with every agent tool call audited and quota-tracked. External MCP plugins let it call out to other servers too.

  • Export and delivery

    Raw billing export to external BI, scheduled email reporting, and reporting agents delivering into Slack and Microsoft Teams.

One integration surface for the whole platform, and these three routes out of it.

The connector itself

What one looks like
once it is configured.

A connector is a small, unglamorous object: an authentication method, a schedule, a scope, a list of what it reads, and a list of named actions.

The interface and the data shown here are illustrative. The reads and all four write actions are CerteroX SaaS Management capabilities.

Read, act, prove

Read-only by default.

Security teams ask two questions about any integration: what can it see, and what can it change. Both answers are below.

01

It reads

What a connector reads depends on what the system will hand over.

  1. 01.1 Agentless and command-line inventory (csinvcli) for machines that will not take an agent
  2. 01.2 Standalone inventory for air-gapped and offline systems
  3. 01.3 A non-invasive ABAP connector for SAP, reading named users, roles, engines and authorisations
  4. 01.4 Vendor APIs returning the authoritative user and licence list for each application

02

It acts, only where you say so

17 of the 215 connectors can write anything at all.

  1. 02.1 Provisioning and deprovisioning across Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
  2. 02.2 One-click OAuth grant revocation, also available as a workflow action
  3. 02.3 SCCM applications, packages and jobs driven from the same console that sees them
  4. 02.4 VM power schedules and resource TTL, enforced against the cloud accounts you nominate

03

It leaves a record

Every action a connector performs stays attributable afterwards.

  1. 03.1 Audit log covering every provisioning and deprovisioning step
  2. 03.2 Scoped, per-organisation MCP tokens with full tool-call auditing
  3. 03.3 Constraint violation history and detected-constraints tracking
  4. 03.4 A six-tier role model including a dedicated Auditor role
Oracle LMS/GLAS verified

Verified by Oracle License Management Services. Oracle’s audit team can accept data from Certero during an official audit, as an alternative to installing Oracle’s own measurement tools.

Not on the list?

Then take one of the
four ways round it.

Three of these need nothing from us at all, and the fourth starts with a conversation.

Send the system name and what you need out of it, whether that is inventory, seat lists, billing or a named write action. Where one of the four routes above already covers it, we will point you straight at the documentation for it.

  1. 01 Build it yourself

    The read-only API

    A documented Certero API over the whole asset model, with a published Power BI data source. If your system can read HTTP, it can read everything you own.

  2. 02 Open standard

    FOCUS, natively

    A dedicated collector ingests the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification. Any provider that emits FOCUS is costed correctly without a bespoke connector at all.

  3. 03 No API required

    Import and agentless discovery

    Third-party ITAM import, network discovery across NetBIOS, SNMP and ICMP, agentless inventory and standalone inventory for air-gapped systems. Ten discovery methods, and every one of them writes to the same schema.

  4. 04 Agent-to-agent

    External MCP plugins

    The platform is an MCP server, and it is also an MCP client. External MCP plugin support means it can call tools published by your own servers, under the same scoped, audited tokens.

Name one system

Start with your messiest
source of truth.

An AD forest nobody has pruned since 2014, an Oracle environment with options nobody can account for, a Microsoft 365 tenant with more licences than people. Name it, and the demo is built on that connector — what it reads, what it returns, and the record every result lands in.

Nothing to connect, nothing to approve, no gated PDF.
