BetterCloud named the sole Leader by G2 across all 5 key SaaS Management categories.

Andrej Safundzic, Alan Flores Lopez and Leo Mehr met in a class at Stanford focusing on ethics, public policy and technological change. Safundzic — speaking to TechCrunch — says that the class drove home the point that few people, particularly in the corporate sector, have control over their online identities.“The future of software is in automating manual workflows fully end-to-end,” Safundzic said. “Authorization decisions are probably one of the first workflows that make sense for this, since they’re a very straightforward — but also highly frequent — need with real business impact.”It’s this seed of an idea that led Safundzic, Lopez and Mehr to brainstorm ways to better manage digital corporate identities. Their efforts culminated in Lumos, a platform that helps companies manage app access permissions across on-premises and cloud environments. Lumos, which can be accessed via a command line or the web, helps to orchestrate tasks like audits of which users have access to which apps and systems within a corporate environment. Beyond this, Lumos can estimate and recommend ways to reduce spend on software licenses by tracking usage and integrating expenses data
