SAN FRANCISCO (September 13, 2018) – Zylo, the largest independent enterprise SaaS management platform, is named one of the 20 Rising Stars as part of the Forbes 2018 Cloud 100 list, the definitive list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in collaboration with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures.
The 20 Rising Stars represent young, high-growth and category-leading cloud companies who have raised less than $25 million to date and are poised to join the Cloud 100 ranks.
“Zylo is pioneering a new category of software and it’s an honor to be recognized by Bessemer Venture Partners, Forbes and Salesforce Ventures as one of 20 Rising Stars in the cloud industry,” said Eric Christopher, CEO and Co-Founder of Zylo. “I am thrilled to be included in the exclusive group of Rising Stars of the Cloud 100. Over the last two years, we have been working so hard to build the category-leading SaaS management platform and to receive this honor is a tremendous accomplishment for the entire team.”
The Zylo platform manages over 2.5 million unique SaaS user licenses and nearly $3 billion of annual SaaS spend on behalf of its customers. The platform has the most comprehensive database of SaaS applications categorized by category, function, and sub-function, which is used by enterprise customers, including Eli Lilly and Company.
Eli Lilly and Company is a global pharmaceutical company with more than 38,000 worldwide employees. “As computing continues to play an expanding role in not only supporting the transactions of the company but in powering new and changing business models, Cloud software solutions become increasingly strategic to our future. With such an expanding role in our digital future, it is important that we put in place capabilities to effectively track and manage Cloud utilization,” said Jennifer Oleksiw, Vice President and Information Officer at Eli Lilly and Company. “With Zylo, we see the potential to professionally manage our cloud software subscriptions with effective governance, measurement, and cost visibility.”

Zylo deserves to be recognized as a 2018 Rising Star for its forward-thinking SaaS management platform that transforms the way organizations think about and manage their software.”
