Software as a Service (SaaS) is emerging as one of the most rapidly expanding segments within cloud computing, with some analyses suggesting it could surpass platform and infrastructure services in growth. According to Gartner, SaaS technologies are projected to achieve revenues of $85 billion by the conclusion of 2019, reflecting a substantial 17.8 percent increase compared to earlier years, and representing a significant share of the anticipated public cloud revenues, which are expected to hit $278 billion by 2021. However, even with this surge in SaaS adoption, many IT departments in enterprises remain unaware of the SaaS applications operating within their systems or how they are being used. Therefore, it’s crucial for organizations to gain insight into their SaaS usage.
