Fragmented SaaS & software visibility drives wasted spend and risks

SaaS has made software easier to buy for departments, teams and individuals, but it’s also taken control away from IT and FinOps. With applications added to infrastructure with no oversight, you have no idea how many licences you own, what’s actually used and where your spend is going.

Similarly, you need to know what is installed on a device or by a user to gain control of your compliance. 

Certero brings every licence, user and cost into a single pane of glass, helping you get complete visibility of your SaaS and software estates and take back control of your investments.

Software licence visibility FAQs

What is software licence visibility?

Software licence visibility allows you to have visibility of all the software being used in your business, including shadow IT, regardless of where it’s used. This includes who is using software, what software they’re using, how they’re using it and what the costs and licence conditions are.

Software licence visibility is important for your business because you can’t manage what you can’t see. Without proper visibility you risk a rise in shadow IT, that can create unforeseen and unnecessary costs, you risk a loss in productivity as teams or individuals use different tools and you increase the risks of cyber attacks against tools that you can’t monitor.

One of the biggest challenges with poor licence visibility is that you have decentralised data that isn’t easy to analyse or use to make decisions. This can either lead to delays in decision making, or bad decisions being made due to bad data. Complex licence models and software sprawl are another big challenge of poor software licence visibility as you can lose track of how software is added to your estate.

Your software licence is a legal agreement that confirms the conditions and terms you’ve agreed to when using the software. A licence key is used to enforce those terms. Software visibility is important because it helps you stay on top of your compliance requirements and ensures you comply with your agreements.

We help you deal with software audits by providing visibility and an audit-ready trail of what software your business is using, who’s using it and whether you’re using your software within the terms you’ve agreed.
