Case Study: HashiCorp achieves centralized management of 225+ SaaS apps and cost savings with Productiv

HashiCorp successfully manages over 200 SaaS apps and 400% company growth

HashiCorp, a San Francisco–based infrastructure software company that grew from about 150 to over 1,000 employees in two years, struggled to manage a sprawling SaaS portfolio of more than 225 applications while scaling a largely remote workforce. When Head of IT Jim Fazzone built the IT team, he faced limited visibility, stranded licenses, heavy vendor and contract overhead, and time‑consuming onboarding as the company added roughly 50 hires per month.

Productiv’s platform gave HashiCorp a single pane of glass into application and feature engagement, exposing redundancies and underused licenses so IT could right‑size subscriptions and manage renewals strategically. The Productiv implementation delivered initial insights in 4–5 days with about 1.5 hours of customer setup, helped HashiCorp manage 225+ apps, saved two days of provisioning per month, reduced SaaS costs (including identifying 90‑day unused apps), and shifted IT into a more strategic, collaborative role across Finance and the business.
