Manage Renewals
MANAGE RENEWALS
Gain the upper hand in renewals
Don't just renew SaaS subscriptions at the same quantity as the previous year. Snow SaaS Management arms you with data on application usage to strengthen your position in renewal negotiations. Many SaaS vendors do not prevent over-use of entitlements and request a ‘true-up’ at renewal. Prevent surprise bills with real-time visibility to license allocations.
FULL SAAS VISIBILITY
Comprehensive SaaS discovery and usage data
Not all SaaS discovery methods are created equal. API connectors and financial records will tell you how much you’ve spent and if licenses are allocated but fail to provide information on what’s most important – verified usage. SaaS application usage is the only way to find allocated but unused licenses, downgrade from expensive premium bundles and identify security risks. Snow SaaS Management on Snow Atlas combines multiple discovery methods, including verified usage, to ensure complete visibility into your SaaS usage.
