What is a SaaS Management Platform (SMP)?

A SaaS Management Platform is a centralized solution designed to streamline the discovery, management, optimization, and automation of an organization's SaaS applications. As businesses expand their SaaS stack, efficient management becomes essential to controlling costs, overseeing subscriptions, and maintaining security protocols.

As companies adopt more cloud-based tools, SaaS management becomes critical to avoid waste, improve security, and streamline IT operations. Additionally, these platforms help manage SaaS budgets by tracking software expenditures, automating financial processes, and leveraging SaaS data for compliance and efficient license management, providing insights into vendor relationships.

In simple terms, a SaaS Management Platform gives IT, finance, procurement, and security teams full visibility and control over the company’s SaaS stack — who’s using what, how much it costs, whether it’s secure, and whether it’s being used.
