Spring Into Zylo’s 2022 Product Release

It’s been a busy quarter here at Zylo. In between getting certified by The ITAM Review, added to the Coupa Marketplace, and named an SAP Concur Partner Innovation Award Winner, we’ve been evolving our SaaS management and optimization platform to better serve our customers. 

We’ve made some big updates to help you innovate, improve the employee experience, and unlock the full value of your SaaS investments. Check out what’s blooming in our Spring 2022 product release below.

Integrations

651.

That’s the average number of SaaS applications a business now maintains. Zylo’s integrations deliver unparalleled, actionable enterprise data across the nearly 20,000+ applications in the Zybrary™ management library. With our Spring 2022 product release, we’ve added new integrations to the list, in addition to making some powerful enhancements to existing ones. 

Gain Full SaaS Visibility with the Coupa Expense and Invoice Integration

Coupa is the cloud-based Business Spend Management (BSM) platform that unifies processes across supply chain, procurement, and finance functions. And now, Coupa Expense and Invoice is a source for financial discovery in Zylo, bringing full visibility to SaaS portfolios.

With the Zylo + Coupa Expense and Invoice Connector, organizations can easily find and classify SaaS purchases to optimize ongoing discovery, spend, and licenses, while mitigating risk. 

• Gain visibility into software that is being purchased across the enterprise – even those applications not managed by IT
• See all SaaS applications alongside usage, spend, and contract details with frictionless, ongoing monitoring
• Surface and classify SaaS license purchases – whether IT-managed, line-of-business owned, or Shadow IT. Our Discovery Engine finds all your applications, even if they’ve been miscoded or improperly categorized in Coupa
• Automatically sync Zylo with Coupa Expense and Invoice for a secure and reliable data exchange

Integrate Directly with Airtable 

Airtable is a low-code platform that makes it easy to build powerful, custom applications. Customers can now use Zylo to maximize their Airtable subscriptions. 

Zylo’s direct integration with Airtable provides insights into your organization’s most and least active collaborators, empowering you to confidently deprovision inactive users, improve security, and drive more value from Airtable. 

• Identify all Airtable collaborators
• Analyze usage data, including engagement metrics, such as number of Workspaces and Bases, to understand user adoption and adapt licensing 
• Bolster security by deprovisioning inactive users with automated license workflows 
• View and analyze detailed usage data to forecast future licensing needs

Optimize Salesforce Licenses Using Custom Fields from the User Object 

Our Salesforce integration now pulls in custom fields from the User object to customize the Zylo user grid with your unique Salesforce data. Track important user information that is not provided by Salesforce to optimize SaaS licenses and usage. You can show or hide, filter and sort on custom fields.

Take Instant Action on Aha! Insights to Improve Security and Control Costs

To help you bolster security and control costs, we’ve enhanced our Aha integration with automated license deprovisioning. Beyond email and last login dates, we are capturing more user fields to gain greater visibility on application usage and take action on insights. These include:

• paid vs. free license type 
• created _at
• productNames
• roleDescriptions
• userRoles
• administrator
• LicenseName

Self-Service Integration Configuration

We want you to be self-sufficient in our tool. To help you do just that, we’ve added new configuration capabilities for integrations. 

• Add: Simply add integrations from the Zylo Integrations Dashboard
• Reauthenticate: Update and save credentials on your own, and retain historical information when you make changes
• Delete: Easily disconnect direct integrations you no longer need
