New platform gives businesses control of SaaS
The switch to as-a-service models for delivering software gives organizations a wide range of providers to choose from, but it can lead to a proliferation of different solutions and a challenge for management.
Cloud management specialist BetterCloud is launching a new unified software-as-a-service (SaaS) management platform to give IT departments powerful automation and governance capabilities.
"The rise of the SaaS-powered workplace is transforming the role of IT," says David Politis, CEO of BetterCloud. "What was once a behind-the-scenes department is now becoming deeply integrated into the business. But the explosion of SaaS offerings from thousands of providers brings a new and significant set of challenges for IT, including a lack of visibility across applications, manual processes that don't scale, and lack of awareness around operational risk. The new BetterCloud platform empowers IT with the solutions they need to operate and scale today's SaaS-powered workplace".
The platform offers IT teams a central command center across all SaaS applications. BetterCloud's complete user profiles go beyond surface-level user identities to include information on each user's assets, files, and privileges across multiple applications. Admins can take action on all connected SaaS applications directly from BetterCloud.
BetterCloud’s automation engine enables IT to automate critical, complex processes across SaaS applications. Automated processes can be triggered in near real-time by updates in BetterCloud or external systems, including IdaaS providers and the Google Admin Console.
The platform also improves compliance with the ability to audit users, files, privileges, and security policies across SaaS applications. IT teams can automatically enforce industry regulations like HIPAA as well as any custom regulations, based on content inside SaaS applications
