Case Study: REA Group achieves SaaS visibility, cost savings, and risk reduction with Zylo

REA Group uncovers 150 shadow IT apps and $550k in savings with Zylo

REA Group, a global online real estate advertising company, faced significant challenges managing its rapidly expanding SaaS portfolio due to strategic acquisitions and decentralized purchasing. This lack of visibility led to widespread shadow IT, introducing security risks and unnecessary costs. To gain control, REA Group partnered with SaaS management vendor Zylo to discover all applications in use and retool their approach to SaaS management.

By implementing Zylo's solution, REA Group gained complete visibility, discovering 150 previously unknown applications. Zylo enabled them to eliminate redundant spend and proactively manage renewals with usage data. This resulted in identified cost savings of $550,000 and a 35% reduction in oversubscription for a key IT infrastructure supplier, significantly mitigating risk and cutting waste.
