Beamy

Beamy is a SaaS management platform designed specifically for large enterprises. It provides a solution to discover, control, and govern the decentralized adoption of SaaS applications across an organization. With its innovative technology, Beamy can detect and monitor the entire SaaS environment of its customers, eliminating shadow IT.

Beamy recognizes that the traditional top-down approach to IT is no longer effective as business units increasingly choose and implement their own SaaS tools. This trend, known as "underground digitalization" or "IT decentralization," has led to a significant increase in the number of SaaS applications used within large companies, often without the knowledge or control of the IT department.

Companies with over 1,000 employees typically have hundreds of active SaaS solutions in use, representing millions of dollars in annual costs. However, IT departments often underestimate this number, assuming only a few dozen SaaS apps are being used. This discrepancy poses significant security and compliance risks, as each uncontrolled SaaS application becomes a potential entry point for cyber threats and data breaches.

To address these challenges, Beamy's platform leverages powerful algorithms to detect and catalog all SaaS applications within an organization. It provides a centralized view of the company's SaaS landscape, enabling IT teams to assess risks, define governance policies, and optimize software spending. Additionally, Beamy offers an enterprise app store with over 50,000 vetted SaaS solutions, allowing business units to select approved applications within a controlled framework.

Beamy's approach aims to strike a balance between empowering employees with technological autonomy and maintaining corporate governance. By facilitating collaboration between IT and business teams, Beamy enables organizations to embrace the benefits of SaaS while mitigating associated risks.
