Why Corma SaaS is the Go-To Solution for Identity Access Management

Why Corma is the Go-To Solution for Identity Access Management in SaaS Environments

The modern workspace is built on SaaS - and that is a fact. The reliance of most companies on Software as a Service (SaaS) has been increasing in the last year and is likely to continue with all the new AI tools that spread up everywhere and invade companies. Many organizations have tried different solutions for identity, access, and license management, but these were often ineffective or not suited to their company size. However, providing employees with unrestricted access to numerous apps can lead to significant challenges: an increase in IT support tickets, compliance breaches, uncontrollable increase in software costs, and a reduction in productivity. This is called the Death by a Thousand SaaS.

The Current Challenge: Tackling SaaS Sprawl

‍ ‍Today, many companies still tackle SaaS sprawl in a manual fashion, by creating lists and spreadsheets. Those lists are hard to maintain. Therefore they are usually outdated and rarely complete. Some companies aim for tech solutions. The irony lies in the fact that many companies attempt to manage SaaS sprawl by employing multiple SaaS applications. This approach often involves using a combination of tools such as Zylo or Productiv for tracking spending, Accessia, BetterCloud or Okta Workflows for user onboarding and off-boarding, Jira or ServiceNow for managing app access requests, and traditional spreadsheets for compliance audits. This fragmented approach is often inefficient, costly and produces plenty of errors.

To address these challenges, SaaS management platforms have emerged, offering a comprehensive SaaS management solution that enables organizations to streamline identity, access, and license management across all their SaaS applications.

Why Choose Corma? Here are Three Key Advantages:

1. Enhanced Efficiency and Cost Reduction‍

• Corma consolidates SaaS management, integrating cost control, productivity, and compliance features into one platform. By providing visibility and management across all our tools, Corma enables cost savings and efficient management. It also streamlines software license management as part of its cost control features, eliminating the need for multiple tools and reducing both complexity and expenses.

2. Robust Compliance and Access Control

• With the rapid growth of companies, compliance and access control become increasingly vital. Corma seamlessly connects with your current identity provider, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID, for easy integration. The platform supports zero touch provisioning to automate onboarding and offboarding, reducing manual intervention and enhancing security. Corma facilitates this by simplifying Zero Trust implementations and Least-Privilege Access models. The platform automates access and vendor reviews, easing the burden of compliance audits and continuous compliance enforcement.

3. Empowerment through Self-Service

Traditional IT ticketing systems can create bottlenecks. Corma’s self-service AppStore model allows users to independently request access to applications, streamlining approval flows and provisioning. Corma gives users full visibility and control over their access requests, improving security and efficiency. Additionally, Corma offers browser extensions to streamline access management and enhance the user experience. This reduces IT workload and accelerates access requests, leading to a more efficient and productive workplace.
