HCLSoftware and CloudEagle.ai Join Forces for Comprehensive Software Governance Solutions
In a significant move that promises to reshape software governance, HCLSoftware has announced a strategic partnership with AI-powered SaaS management platform CloudEagle.ai. This collaboration aims to provide an integrated software governance solution for both on-device and cloud-based applications, allowing organizations to maximize their return on investment in their software assets.
Kristin Hazlewood, Senior Vice President of HCLSoftware and BigFix, emphasized the ambition behind this partnership, stating, "Our strategic partnership with CloudEagle.ai elevates our overarching goal with HCL BigFix, which is to offer comprehensive governance for all software, whether it be SaaS, desktop, or data center-based." This new solution will enhance visibility and management across evolving IT environments, extending the commitment of HCLSoftware to integrate SaaS applications within their governance framework.
As organizations increasingly transition to cloud environments, the complexity of managing various software applications can lead to inefficiencies. Currently, IT departments often rely on numerous vendors and integrations to oversee software application rights, regardless of their deployment method. The collaboration between HCL BigFix and CloudEagle.ai provides companies with a singular source to govern all apps, greatly simplifying software management.
Chirag Mehta, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Constellation Research, noted the timely nature of this partnership, stating, "As organizations ramp up their cloud adoption, CIOs and CISOs require unified visibility across endpoints and SaaS applications to make informed decisions regarding risk management, spending, and compliance." The combined capabilities of HCL BigFix and CloudEagle.ai are anticipated to streamline operations, bolster security, and reduce costs throughout the IT landscape.
Research from Gartner reveals that organizations waste approximately 25% of the $1,000 spent per user annually on SaaS applications. When combined with the complications in managing software on devices, there lies a significant opportunity to reduce complexity and minimize the need for multiple vendors in managing the software ecosystem.
Nidhi Jain, CEO and Founder of CloudEagle.ai, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, "We are excited to partner with HCL BigFix, the leading end-point management solution in the market." She continued, "BigFix's cross-platform endpoint management and real-time remediation align seamlessly with our AI-driven SaaS discovery, access governance, and procurement automation. Together, we are delivering a unified solution that provides enterprises with total visibility and control over both devices and SaaS applications, enhancing security, decreasing expenditure, and simplifying compliance in today’s hybrid IT environment."
This innovative merging of services signifies a crucial step towards more efficient software governance, allowing businesses to allocate resources effectively, safeguard their digital ecosystems, and navigate the complexities of modern IT environments.
