Certero for SaaS - Salesforce Module
Manage your Salesforce SaaS subscription more effectively: avoid Bill Shock, Cloud Sprawl, Shadow IT and Toxic Consumption
Challenge
In business, staff account deprovisioning processes can be poorly managed resulting in the logon accounts of former employees remaining enabled and SaaS subscriptions needlessly remaining assigned. As well as the obvious security implications here, subscriptions assigned to inactive users provide no value but may be incurring avoidable costs. Alternatively, inactive accounts still consuming subscriptions from a pool, means that the number of available licenses in the pool will be reduced artifically. This means two things: firstly, you might think you need to buy more licenses for the pool when, in fact, you have spares; and secondly, when it comes time to renegotiate an agreement you won’t know the actual number of subscriptions needed to support cost-effective decision-making.
The challenge is having the visibility, data and reporting to reduce wastage.
