Doing More with Less (and 364 SaaS Apps)

Doing More with Less (and 364 SaaS Apps)

“Do more with less” is now the default setting for modern IT teams.

The average org is juggling 200 to 400 SaaS apps right now. One recent stat puts that at 364 for for enterprises. Now guess how many people are managing all that?

Usually: one. Maybe two.

Meanwhile, teams keep spinning up new tools without flagging IT. According to Productiv, 56% of apps are owned outside of IT. Which means you’re securing apps you didn’t vet, approve, or even know about.

Shadow IT is now just… IT. 

It’s chaos.

Automation sounds great in theory…

But when a workflow takes four hours to build and saves you ten minutes a month, it’s not getting prioritized. You’ve got bigger fires to put out.

That’s where the trap is: a lot of “efficiency” solutions are pitched as quick wins but take months to roll out. Some require professional services just to get going. Others pitch “instant value” and still need quarters of runway before they’re remotely useful.

Case in point: Mention Okta in a kickoff meeting and watch the timeline stretch into next fiscal year while you scramble to hire consultants and upgrade your apps to SAML.

YeshID is what happens when IT builds for IT

We built YeshID because we were tired of waiting six months to fix problems we already understood. No more consulting hours. No more praying for SAML. No more “value unlocked in Q3” conversations. 

With YeshID, you can be up and running in under an hour. No professional services required. Out of the box, you get:

  • A real-time map of who has access to what
  • The ability to kill off risky OAuth tokens
  • Shadow IT discovery 

And then? Our built-in AI Agents kick in to help you go even further:

  • Got a messy onboarding checklist in Notion, Google Docs, or Slack? We’ll convert it into an automated, orchestrated workflow with a click.

  • Need to integrate with the tools your team is already using? Our agent reads the API docs, generates the integration code, and builds it for you.

It’s like having another engineer or IT ops person on the team—except it doesn’t need PTO.

So, yes… Automate. Secure. Streamline. But do it without the headaches and multi-quarter roadmaps.
