A new press release states, “Snow Software (Snow), the global leader in Software Asset Management (SAM) and Cloud Management solutions, today introduced Snow for SaaS to give organizations visibility to their growing portfolio of SaaS applications in use within their enterprises. Businesses can use that insight to optimize investments, drive operational efficiency, manage risk and compliance and improve their products and services. Business users are increasingly deploying SaaS applications to move faster and react to ever-changing business needs. Gartner expects SaaS to reach 45 percent of total application software spending by 2021. Organizations undoubtedly benefit from this shift in technology consumption, but neither business nor IT leaders have visibility into the totality of their SaaS usage. With this needed visibility, companies can confidently invest in technology assets that drive business growth and agility without overspending, and at the same time ensure disciplined governance and compliance.”

The release continues, “Snow for SaaS uniquely helps organizations discover, manage and optimize SaaS applications, in conjunction with on-prem and hybrid software applications like Microsoft Office 365. The solution enables customers to discover free, trial and paid applications that are in use throughout the enterprise, providing insight into where they are used and by whom. This complete user-level picture is delivered by Snow’s agent technology without having to reconcile finance and IT data. By creating a detailed view of SaaS application usage at the user level, Snow provides insight into SaaS usage regardless of where in the organization the application was selected or purchased.”
