Implementation, optimisation, and adoption support for Zylo SaaS Management Platform. Discovery configuration, renewal workflows, application ownership, and integration with your SAM stack.
SaaS spend has grown faster than any other software category for five years running — and is now 30–50% of total enterprise software cost in most organisations. The procurement processes, governance, and SAM discipline that took two decades to mature around traditional licensing have rarely caught up.
Zylo solves the visibility problem. The platform discovers SaaS applications through expense data, SSO, finance feeds, and direct API integration with major vendors. It produces an inventory of what you're actually paying for, who's using it, and when it renews. For most enterprises, the day Zylo goes live is the first day they have honest SaaS visibility.
Visibility alone doesn't change behaviour. The savings come from what you do next — renewal preparation that starts six months early, dormant licence harvesting, application consolidation, structured application ownership, and a renewal workflow that prevents auto-renewal of unused contracts. Most failed Zylo deployments fail at that next step. We focus the engagement on what produces savings, not just dashboards.
Whether you're standing up Zylo for the first time or extending an existing deployment — engagements cover these areas.
Configuration of every discovery source — expense data feeds, SSO integration, finance ERP connection, direct API integrations with major SaaS vendors. The more sources, the more accurate the inventory.
Producing the first trustworthy inventory of every SaaS application in the estate — including shadow IT, departmental purchases on credit cards, and dormant contracts that nobody admits to owning.
Designing the ownership model — who owns Salesforce, who owns ServiceNow, who owns Slack. Clear responsibility for renewal decisions, usage reviews, and licence right-sizing. Without this, inventory data has no executive home.
Building the renewal workflow in Zylo — alerts at 9, 6, and 3 months before renewal, automatic usage data attached, decision routing through finance and IT, and structured exit gates for renewals that fail justification.
Connecting Zylo into your wider SAM and procurement environment — ServiceNow, Flexera One, Coupa, SAP Ariba. So SaaS data flows into the wider governance picture instead of living in its own dashboard.
Translating the inventory into a structured savings programme — dormant licence harvesting, application consolidation candidates, renewal targets, and shadow-IT remediation. With a quarterly governance forum to track delivery.
Engagements run 8–14 weeks for initial stand-up. Optional ongoing optimisation support afterwards for renewal preparation, vendor consolidation, and embedded-AI strategy.
Free consultation. We agree scope — net-new Zylo stand-up, extension into new regions or business units, or rescue of a stalled deployment. Stakeholders, success metrics, and timeline confirmed up front.
Platform stand-up. Source integration, initial discovery, inventory reconciliation. By the end of this phase you have a complete, trustworthy SaaS inventory — usually for the first time in the organisation's history.
Application owner programme stand-up, renewal workflow build, savings programme launch. We run alongside your team for the first two renewal cycles to make sure the operating model holds under real conditions.
Knowledge transfer, runbook documentation, structured 30/60/90-day hyper-care. Optional ongoing optimisation support for renewal preparation, vendor consolidation, and embedded-AI strategy questions.
Zylo engagements pair naturally with broader SaaS Management and SAM transformation work.
The broader SaaS Management practice runs the renewal-driven optimisation engagements that Zylo data informs — ServiceNow, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Workday, and the rest of the major SaaS portfolio.
Learn moreZylo is one component of the SAM operating model. Many clients run a maturity assessment alongside the deployment to design the broader SaaS governance structure.
Learn moreThe free consultation is exactly that. A senior SaaS specialist will spend 30 minutes with you understanding your current state — what tools you have, what you know about your SaaS spend, and what you suspect is hiding — and tell you honestly whether Zylo is the right platform and what the deployment economics would look like.
