BetterCloud Included in Gartner's First-Ever Market Guide for Cloud Office Management Tools

Gartner analyst and report author, Terrence Cosgrove, notes that infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders should, "Use a third-party cloud office management tool to get the necessary governance and administration to enable end-user adoption of cloud office functionality." According to Cosgrove, "cloud office management tools have six functional categories: administration, role-based access control, auditing, license management, workflow automation and reporting."

BetterCloud has found that over 70% of organizations planning to run nearly all of their business operations on SaaS applications by 2020.

Cosgrove writes that, "There are many management functions that are virtually identical across SaaS applications. Cloud office management tools can create a workflow that allows IT administrators to create an action once, and execute it across multiple SaaS environment. For example, the simple tasks "create a new user" or "place new user in the North America sales group" have to be done separately in each individual management portal.  This repetitive work becomes increasingly time-consuming as organizations use more and more SaaS applications."

Delivering all six functionalities, BetterCloud is the industry's first centralized SaaS management platform focused on helping IT adopt and control the growing number of workplace technologies.
