Recipe Overview

As a company grows, it can be easy for companies to lose track of the number of applications they have, who uses them, and if they’re being used at all.

And while that may not be a problem when a company is small, as headcount increases and even more applications get added to the stack, the cost of unused or underutilised licences can really start to add up – from thousands of dollars to millions, depending how big a company is and the cost of the licenses themselves.

But apart from the additional cost, there’s also the more important aspect of the security risk that comes from having a larger real estate vulnerable to attack.

With this Recipe, you’ll be able to view a list of your employees and when they last logged into each of their licenced applications. That way, it’s easy to identify which licences and applications you can cancel because they’re not actually needed by the employee for their work.

Want to filter that list to just the last 90 days? As with all our report Recipes, you can customise this template with additional data, filters, grouping, and more to help you answer your specific questions.
