Key Takeaways from the webinar
- **Improved Visibility and Control over SaaS Environment**
Acast lacked a centralized system to track and manage their SaaS applications. Employees could purchase tools independently, leading to redundancies and a lack of oversight. Dragan spent significant time investigating what tools were being used and by whom. Substly provided a comprehensive overview of their SaaS landscape, allowing them to identify overlapping tools, monitor usage, and detect shadow IT.
- **Streamlined Employee Onboarding and Offboarding**
Acast previously relied on manual processes to grant and revoke access to various SaaS applications during employee onboarding and offboarding. This was time-consuming and error-prone. With Substly, the IT team could easily manage access permissions across all applications, reducing the offboarding process time by approximately 90%.
- **Cost Optimization and Savings**
By gaining visibility into license and application utilization through Substly, Acast optimized its SaaS spending. Learn how they identify underutilized licenses, avoid renewing unnecessary subscriptions, and make informed decisions during contract renewals. Dragan also mentions that Acast saved a significant amount of money by being able to identify and shut down unused or redundant services.
