Every company knows there’s waste in their SaaS spend. Few know how much or how to fix it. It usually comes down to duplicate tools, underused licenses, and software no one really needs anymore. Now imagine dropping a secure, autonomous agent into your environment and pointing it at your SaaS contracts, your access provisioning system (Okta, etc.), and your app stack. It connects to each app, understands how employees are actually using it, and DMs them to figure out what they actually need. From there, it right-sizes licenses, politely suggests alternatives when a full license isn’t necessary, and does it all with approvals and a complete audit trail. No big cleanup project. Just continuous optimization running in the background. We built this at Workato. It’s called License Genie. Before this, we had a couple of team members Marjoe I. and Benny Tan trying to track usage across ~240 apps and 1200 employees. It was a thankless and essentially impossible job. Today, they focus on more strategic questions around our app stack and agent security. Before making it generally available, we deployed it internally. In under 30 days, it optimized $1.64M in app spend across a little more than half of our SaaS footprint by aligning licenses to actual usage. Companies have always overpaid for software. Now, a powerful, connected agent can continuously identify and eliminate that waste in the background. It’s worth taking a look. Big thanks to Patricia Andrea Guevarra, Bernie Abraham, Manoj Gaddam, Nitesh Saxena, Sen Rong Poh, Melinda A. and team for putting License Genie together and shipping it! https://lnkd.in/eRmpEht9 #WorkatoEnterpriseMCP #MCP #SuperAgents
