Application Rationalization is one of the foundational use cases of LeanIX that all of our customers tend to share as a commonality.  So, I pose the question - how can you possibly rationalize what you are not aware exists?

Enter: SaaS Discovery, in all its glory.  You are able to hook into a number of the discover integrations that we offer, but for now, I will provide a basic example of a SSO source (i.e. Okta, Azure).  When setting up a SSO discover integration with SaaS Discovery, we will show you all of the services that are being logged into via your SSO tool, and pull them into your EAM workspace (SaaS Discovery blade within your Admin settings) for you to review.

Perhaps you were confident that your org subscribes to 100 SaaS applications, and our SaaS Discovery functionality with a SSO discover integration established finds that you actually subscribe to 200 SaaS applications per SSO - uh oh!  Have no fear - we will give you the ultimate opportunity to rationalize, and we view our SaaS Discovery feature as the perfect complement for our other APM capabilities and reporting.

Once the services are retrieved by the discover integration source, you will then have the ability to link any of these to existing applications that we offer as part of our SaaS catalog.  If you establish this link, we’ll take some work off your hands by managing certain fields like Name, Hosting Type, Description, Single Sign On - Available Providers, etc. for you! 

Establishing governance/maintenance from the get-go will be key.  Set up SaaS Discovery from the start, and be set up for success!  Ask your Customer Success Onboarding Manager for more info, and visit our docs page!
