The Challenge

SaaS Spend Is Growing Faster Than Your Ability to Govern It

SaaS has transformed how organisations buy and use software. It has also created a new category of uncontrolled, fragmented spend that grows with every new team, every new tool, and every new AI feature bundled into an existing subscription.

Licences are purchased across departments on credit cards, without IT visibility. Applications accumulate and overlap. Usage drifts far below what was purchased. And vendors increasingly bundle AI capabilities into higher pricing tiers - imposing cost increases at renewal, whether organisations asked for those features or not.

The result is a SaaS portfolio that is simultaneously oversized, underutilised, and continuously getting more expensive.

Licences are purchased without visibility into what the organisation already owns
Shadow IT creates cost, security, and compliance risk across the estate
Unused and underutilised licences accumulate silently across the portfolio
Duplicate tools perform the same function across different teams and budgets
AI features bundled into mandatory higher tiers inflate renewal costs
Renewals trigger automatically without demand validation or right-sizing

OUR APPROACH

SAM Discipline Meets FinOps Rigour

Effective SaaS management requires two capabilities working together. The licence governance, compliance expertise, and lifecycle management of ITAM and SAM. And the consumption tracking, cost allocation, and financial optimisation of FinOps. Most providers offer one or the other. We deliver both - giving your organisation complete coverage across every SaaS pricing model, every vendor tier, and every stage of the application lifecycle.

Managing SaaS as software assets - with the same rigour applied to on-premises licences.

Service Capabilities

Six Core Capabilities. One Continuous Service.

Our SaaS management service covers everything from first discovery through to ongoing governance - structured around three natural stages that reflect how SaaS portfolios actually work.

Discovery & Inventory

Before you can reduce SaaS spend, you need to know what you are actually paying for. Most organisations are surprised by what we find.

Find Your Full SaaS Estate

We identify every SaaS application in use across your organisation — including those purchased outside of IT visibility on credit cards, expense accounts, or departmental budgets. Our discovery combines SSO data, financial records, and endpoint signals to surface the complete picture, including AI tools adopted informally across the business.

Build a Single Source of Truth

We build and maintain a centralised SaaS inventory that captures every application, contract, entitlement, renewal date, cost, and owner in one place. This is the operational foundation everything else depends on — kept current as your portfolio changes, grows, and evolves.

Optimisation & Rationalisation

With a complete inventory in place, we identify every pound of unnecessary spend and act on it - continuously, not just at renewal time.

Eliminate Waste and Right-Size Spend

We identify unused licences, inactive users, and over-tiered subscriptions - and execute reclamation and right-sizing actions that reduce spend immediately. For AI-enabled applications, we assess whether users in premium tiers are actively using the features that justify the cost, and recommend adjustments where they are not.

Rationalise Your Portfolio

We identify applications that duplicate each other across teams and departments, and support consolidation decisions that simplify your portfolio, reduce vendor count, and increase your purchasing leverage. This includes AI tools - where organisations frequently run multiple overlapping generative AI subscriptions without a coherent strategy.

Governance & Control

Savings only last when governance prevents waste from reaccumulating. We put the controls in place that keep your SaaS portfolio under control going forward.

Control What Comes In

We govern new SaaS requests before they become purchases - checking your existing inventory for available alternatives, reviewing licence terms before any commitment is made, and ensuring every new application enters the estate through a controlled, documented process. Shadow IT is addressed at the source, not after the fact.

Govern Every Renewal

We validate every SaaS renewal against actual consumption data before it is processed. Renewals are right-sized, co-termination opportunities are identified, and AI-driven tier upgrades are challenged where adoption data does not justify the additional cost. Every renewal is an active, informed decision - not an automatic event triggered by a vendor notification.
