The nature of Cloud Licensing - SaaS
• Very little risk of non-compliance, but significant risk of
over-buying
• Agreements are simpler, and often subscription-based,
but still must be optimized:
– Usage tracking is often provided, but mainly to support platform
adoption and not to support cost optimization
• Simplicity can lull customers into a false sense of security,
as compliance is often far less a concern
• Customers must still manage certain compliance
scenarios, and more importantly focus on implementing
optimization measurements that provide the usage data
needed to quantify costs

Often need multiple techniques to optimize SaaS
1. Import access and usage data from cloud API or similar
(examples: Office 365 and Salesforce)
2. Track client application installs and usage through
inventory solutions – just like any other application!
3. Monitor website access, for example to post-login
landing page using a web tracking solution
4. Sometimes a combination of the above
