Enterprise fintech company discovers $3 Million in app redundancies

The Challenge

‍A globally-renowned enterprise firm faced challenges in identifying and managing its SaaS applications.

They lacked a comprehensive view of their SaaS ecosystem, including users, usage patterns, and spending. This limited visibility gave rise to issues such as SaaS sprawl, wasted spending, and inefficient renewal management.

It was also becoming difficult for their IT team to determine which applications employees were using and to track their associated costs.

So, they were on the hunt to find a solution that helped them resolve the grey area of SaaS.

The Solution

Complete visibility into their SaaS ecosystem

The fintech giant turned to Zluri to get a single source of truth about everything SaaS. By implementing Zluri, the company gained a complete overview of its SaaS applications, users, and costs. With all these dots connected, Zluri was able to provide cost optimization insights.

Eliminating unused licenses to generate cost savings

The company integrated 20 apps from the Zluri Application Catalog during the initial stage. Leveraging Zluri's capabilities, the company identified inactive users who were assigned licenses for these applications. Following this, the unused licenses were promptly deprovisioned, resulting in more than $200,000 in savings.

Identifying Redundant Applications

After getting complete visibility into its SaaS landscape, the fintech company was able to identify overlapping applications across various software categories. For instance, employees use both Slack and Google Hangouts for instant messaging within the organization. By identifying redundant apps, Zluri has uncovered the possibility of cost savings amounting to $3 million for the company.
