How IT democratisation help re-establish IT-business relationships in large companies
Andréa Jacquemin, CEO & Co-FounderHowever, an adequate decentralised IT infrastructure can help disseminate power among all business units while empowering decision-makers with the freedom to make independent choices for enterprise prosperity.
“The way big and traditional enterprises manage IT in a centralised way is no longer deemed viable as it breeds underground digitalisation. They need to accept that technological autonomy should be decentralised and democratised,” says Andréa Jacquemin, CEO and Co-founder, Beamy. True to Andréa’s words, new-age digital transformation broadens an enterprise’s exposure to security risks despite enabling fast-paced innovation, which is ultimately counter productivity to progress. Addressing these inevitable scenarios, a distinguished leader in SaaS democratisation, Beamy re-establishes communication across business departments such as marketing, HR, finance and the IT department, monitoring all SaaS applications within an enterprise for streamlined decision-making processes. The company democratises IT functions for clients, helping them bridge gaps that stem from underground digitalisation.
Beamy’s SaaS management platform brings to the fore continuous risk assessment and mitigation capabilities to help organisations secure SaaS stacks against data breaches and cyber-attacks while detecting ‘shadow IT’ or unauthorised use of any digital service.
The company mitigates such problems by placing well-managed SaaS modules in the hands of end users while removing a slew of security threats that arise from using non-compliant SaaS applications. Bolstered by this approach, Beamy helps build effective SaaS governance among all key stakeholders comprising business units, CIOs, CISOs, and DPOs, employing powerful automated workflows.
Macif (a Major French insurance company with over 9,000 employees) is one of those enterprises that benefitted greatly from Beamy’s platform, which helped them restructure IT-business relationships by effectively managing shadow IT. Beamy assisted the firm by leveraging its SaaS detection solution and successfully identified nearly 150 new SaaS applications, which was 4 times more than the firm had suspected previously. Furthermore, the company also accelerated the client’s business transformation processes by equipping them to tackle the present 200 SaaS apps and restructuring them to accommodate 800 SaaS solutions expected in the next 10 years.
While discovery, management, and governance of SaaS stack are essential for organisational security, companies are also faced with multiple inefficiencies concerning the slow adoption of digitalisation. Insecure applications endanger the workflow and result in poor performance while hindering innovation, as employees end up wasting time on redundant tools, road-blocking the desired efficiency measures within the enterprise. With Beamy’s SaaS enablement service, organisations can empower employees to harness the full potential of digital transformation through an ‘Enterprise App Store’. This NextGen App Store aligns IT and business teams in accordance with common goals and a framework for business autonomy that abides by the company’s policies. The Enterprise App Store enhances business teams’ autonomy with its extensive repository of over 50K SaaS apps through which they can browse and request compliant apps for their use. It, thus, improves business performance by creating synergies between teams and maximising the efficacy of technology adoption.
Beamy’s utility-driven solutions have garnered a worthy reputation among major corporations such as BNP Paribas, Gameloft, LVMH, Nestlé and more for their ability to establish an effective framework for decentralisation and implementation of their SaaS tools across businesses. Beamy has successfully raised $9 million in A-series funding to govern the SaaS explosion across companies, and this accomplishment aligns with the focus on democratising IT within large enterprises. Beamy’s platform brings a systemic change to IT governance and orchestration, helping clients maximise their return on investments by visualising resource utilisations and streamlining decision-making processes.

The way big and traditional enterprises are now managing IT continuously in a centralised way is no longer working in our environment as it is creating underground digitalisation. They need to accept that technological autonomy should be decentralised and democratised
