SaaS management
SaaS management that shows who has access, and what it costs
Software Inventory Manager (SIM) now connects to Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and Okta, and shows which SaaS apps your people have access to. SaaS spend analysis puts a cost beside each app, in the same inventory as the software installed on your devices.
- SSO connectors for Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and Okta
- SaaS spend analysis next to your installed software, in SIM
- Included in the Core plan, with no separate price

Spend
SaaS spend management
SaaS spend analysis in SIM puts a cost on every SaaS app and a name on every person with access, so a renewal starts from what you pay and who you pay for.
What each app costs
SaaS spend analysis per app, so the biggest lines are the first ones you question.
Who has access
The SSO connectors list the SaaS apps each person has access to in Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta.
Next to installed software
SaaS sits in the same inventory as the software on your devices, so one review covers both.
Licenses
SaaS license management
A SaaS license is a seat with a name on it. With access and spend in one view, you can see where seats outnumber the people who need them and reclaim them before the next invoice.
Harvest licenses before you renew
Take the access list to each app owner ahead of the renewal date and remove the seats nobody claims. Every seat you reclaim is one you stop paying for.
One place per person
Installed software, SaaS access and AI usage sit side by side in SIM, so a leaver or a team change is one place to read, not three consoles.
Subscriptions
SaaS subscription management
Subscriptions arrive through IT, through procurement and on a company card. Bring the ones your identity provider knows about into one list with their spend, and the review becomes a view instead of a spreadsheet project.
Connect your identity provider
Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta, through SIM's SSO connectors.
Read access and spend
Each SaaS app with the people who have access to it and what it costs.
Keep, consolidate or retire
Decide per app, starting with the overlaps: two tools bought for one job by two teams.
Discovery
Shadow IT and SaaS discovery
SaaS discovery starts where people sign in. SIM reads the SaaS apps people have access to through your identity provider, so an app you did not expect to see is a question you can put to its users, by name.
Microsoft Entra ID
The SaaS apps your people reach with their Microsoft work accounts.
Google Workspace
The SaaS apps your people reach with their Google Workspace accounts.
Okta
The SaaS apps your people reach through Okta single sign-on.
SIM covers AI spend too: see AI cost management for the API connections to Anthropic Console and Enterprise, OpenAI, ChatGPT Enterprise, Cursor, Google Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot.
One platform
Installed software, SaaS and AI in one place
Software Inventory Manager
The app that does the work: installed software, SaaS and AI usage, recognized and costed in one inventory.
Adobe Deployment Manager
Adobe Admin Console data, matched to the installation and usage data LICENSEWARE collects locally.
Data sources
Every connection SIM and the other apps read, from discovery tools and identity providers to AI platforms.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
DefinitionWhat is SaaS management?
SaaS management is the practice of finding the SaaS applications an organization uses, tracking who has access to each one and what it costs, and acting on that: removing seats nobody needs, consolidating overlapping tools and renewing on evidence.
ToolingWhat is a SaaS management platform?
A tool that brings SaaS discovery, spend and license data into one place. In LICENSEWARE that is Software Inventory Manager (SIM): it connects to Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and Okta, and keeps SaaS next to your installed software and your AI usage.
SpendWhat is SaaS spend management?
Knowing what each SaaS app costs and who it is paid for, so that spend can be cut where seats outnumber the people who need them. SIM's SaaS spend analysis shows the cost per app beside the people who have access to it.
SprawlWhat is SaaS sprawl?
SaaS sprawl is the build-up of SaaS apps, often overlapping, bought by different teams with no single view of who uses them or what they cost. One list with access and spend per app is how it comes back under control.
Shadow ITHow does LICENSEWARE help with shadow IT?
SIM's SSO connectors read the SaaS apps people have access to through Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta. An app on that list that nobody approved is a conversation with the people using it, and the spend analysis shows what it costs.
PlansWhich plan includes SaaS management?
SaaS and AI cost management in SIM are included in the Core plan, with no separate price.
