Applications
SaaS discovery, ownership, lifecycle, cost governance and shadow SaaS.
What Applications means in practice
SaaS emerges faster than ownership is put in place. Applications governance makes visible what exists, who's responsible for it, and what it costs.
Discovery & shadow SaaS
Continuous visibility into which SaaS applications are actually in use, including anything acquired outside the regular procurement process.
Ownership & lifecycle
An owner and a lifecycle status for every application, with a clear decision point at renewal or decommissioning.
Cost governance
Make usage, licences and cost traceable to the owner responsible for them — instead of an annual procurement exercise.
A recognisable pattern: no one knows exactly how many SaaS applications are running, let alone who's responsible — until an invoice, an audit or a security incident makes the question unavoidable.
See Shadow SaaS in Use Cases & Outcomes for how this is addressed in practice.
One domain, the same operating model.
Applications doesn't stand alone — it shares ownership, controls and evidence with the other domains. See how the 90-day approach makes that concrete.
