Flexera SaaS Management Data Ingestion Utility

The Flexera SaaS Management (FSM) Data Ingestion Utility is a client-based Windows desktop tool providing a code-free method to ingest data from your organization’s multiple SaaS applications. It enables the ingestion of data from:

• CSV file sources
• Vendor APIs
• A combination of both sources

This allows you to quickly ingest data and optimize the SaaS vendors you use within your organization.

Flexera SaaS Management enables the ingestion of vendor data in three ways:

• Direct integrations are out-of-the-box managed applications for vendors such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Microsoft 365. The SaaS Management catalogue contains approximately 60 managed applications.
• Single Sign-On (SSO) discovery uses providers such as Okta to discover the applications configured within your SSO and used by your organization's users.
• Indirect integrations occur when the vendor or application is present within the SaaS Management catalog, but data needs to be ingested using scripting against our public APIs. There are approximately 26,000 indirect integrations currently in the SaaS Management catalog. While many Flexera customers and partners currently use our indirect integrations to ingest data and understand optimization opportunities, we also recognize that developing scripts in languages such as Python or PowerShell can be a barrier.
