Tech ThursdAI: Unlocking SaaS Visibility with Zylo

Software as a Service (SaaS) is revolutionizing how businesses operate, pushing innovation and efficiency to new levels. However, the rapid increase in the number of SaaS applications and the decentralized way in which we buy them come with obstacles. Among them: sometimes companies aren’t even fully aware of what’s in their SaaS stack. This can lead to license waste, missed renewals, overspending, and even security risks. 

Introducing Zylo, the SaaS management platform that lets businesses organize and optimize their SaaS stack. Powered by $34 billion of insights and data, Zylo uses AI to help users inventory their stack, track usage, optimize licenses, and manage renewals. Zylo said it best themselves: “You can’t manage what you can’t see.” By giving businesses visibility into their SaaS portfolio, Zylo empowers them to regain control, make smarter decisions, and maximize ROI.

SAAS DISCOVERY AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Did you know that companies underestimate the size and quality of their SaaS stack by 10–50%? Because technology is constantly evolving and because there are so many outlets through which to purchase SaaS applications, businesses often need help keeping track of their apps and subscriptions. Zylo Discover, Zylo’s patent-pending, AI-powered discovery engine, gives users insight into their SaaS stack and spending. 

Drawing from a library of over 20,000 applications, Discover identifies and categorizes your software, letting you paint a clear picture of your portfolio. Zylo also consolidates all important SaaS data, such as billing terms, entitlements, and spending, into a single platform. With easily accessible dashboards, analytics, and reports, Zylo lets you make data-driven decisions. Zylo’s Security Detail provides accreditations, certifications, and risk scores for all your SaaS apps, making sure your business remains secure.

SAAS LICENSE MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMIZATION

Zylo goes beyond inventorying and analyzing. It helps you optimize your SaaS investments. By identifying and reclaiming underused licenses and subscriptions, it can help cut costs and create space within your stack. It also enables you to make app-to-app comparisons so you can determine which software best suits your needs and get rid of tools you no longer require. Zylo analyzes how tools are used across all software applications and uses the insights to automate actions such as upgrading, downgrading, or canceling licenses, saving time for high-impact work. 

SAAS SPEND AND RENEWAL MANAGEMENT

Zylo empowers businesses to take control of their spending and renewal processes by providing a comprehensive view of all SaaS purchases and data. With Zylo Savings Center, users can identify, prioritize, and report on savings by centralizing contracts, terms, and app usage in one platform. It identifies redundancies and underutilized licenses within your stack, letting you identify saving opportunities and renew your licenses confidently based on data-driven insights.  

Its automatic alerts will ensure that you never miss a license renewal. 

Zylo also helps reduce costs through their SaaS Negotiator. Whether you are purchasing a new app or negotiating a renewal, Zylo’s team of experts leverages billions of dollars worth of SaaS spend data to make sure you get the best deal possible.

Visibility within your SaaS portfolio is crucial. It allows you to reduce costs, optimize efficiency, and make informed decisions. Using AI and a robust bank of insights and data, Zylo provides you with the tools to take control of your entire SaaS stack. By seamlessly integrating with a vast library of applications, such as Salesforce, Slack, Zoom, and Outreach, Zylo empowers you to save money, maximize ROI, and drive real growth.
