Software Asset Management
Full Contract Lifecycle
From PDF extraction to renewal preparation—manage every contract from creation to expiration with AI-assisted workflows.
Extract
Upload contract PDFs. AI extracts vendor, dates, costs, license counts, renewal terms, and cancellation clauses automatically.
Connect
Match contracts to applications via fuzzy name matching. Link to business capabilities and processes in your EA model.
Monitor
Automated alerts for renewals, expirations, budget thresholds, compliance issues, and cancellation notice deadlines.
Optimize
AI-generated renewal packages with usage analysis, benchmarks, negotiation strategy, and alternative vendor mapping.
License Compliance at a Glance
Compare actual usage from SSO and CASB connectors against licensed quantities. Catch over-licensing (wasted spend) and under-licensing (audit risk) before they become problems.
Wasted Spend
Contracts with less than 50% utilization. You're paying for licenses nobody uses.
Audit Risk
More active users than licensed. Critical compliance gap that could trigger vendor audit penalties.
Watch List
Over 90% utilization. Growing teams could push you over the limit soon.
Blind Spots
Contracts with no usage data connected. Can't verify compliance without visibility.
Audit Risk Score
Real Usage Data from Your Identity Stack
Connect your SSO, identity providers, and CASB tools. Peaqview syncs actual application usage—no surveys, no guesswork.
SaaS app inventory, user assignments, SSO login events
Service principals, sign-in audit logs, app permissions
OAuth app authorizations, login events, user counts
Discovered cloud apps, shadow IT detection, risk levels
Cloud app discovery, usage metrics, security posture
Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro, Auth0—extensible connector framework
Vendor Risk Intelligence
Understand concentration risk, single-source dependencies, and renewal clustering across your vendor portfolio.
Spend Concentration
Flags vendors consuming more than 20-30% of your total software spend. High concentration means high dependency risk.
Critical App Dependencies
Counts mission-critical and business-critical applications per vendor. A single vendor failure shouldn't take down your operations.
Renewal Clustering
Detects multiple contracts from the same vendor expiring within 90 days. Clustered renewals weaken your negotiating position.
Find Every Savings Opportunity
Peaqview automatically identifies cost-saving opportunities across five categories, prioritized by potential impact.
Shelfware Recovery
Contracts below 100% license utilization. Estimated 80% of unused license cost is recoverable through rightsizing.
Above-Average Spend
Contracts costing more than 2x your portfolio average. Target 20% savings through renegotiation.
Functional Overlap
Multiple tools in the same category (CRM, collaboration, PM, analytics). Consolidate to a single vendor for 40% savings.
Upcoming Negotiations
Contracts renewing in 30-120 days. Multi-year commitment discounts averaging 12% are on the table.
Cancellation Windows
Auto-renewing contracts inside their cancellation notice window. Act now or pay for another cycle.
What-If Scenario Modeling
Model five types of contract optimization scenarios with 3-year financial projections before committing to any change.
Reduce Seats
Calculate savings from downsizing license counts. Checks feasibility against active user counts.
Cancel Contract
Notice deadlines, prorated savings, exit terms, and which applications are affected.
Renegotiate
Model 5-25% discount tiers with leverage factors and negotiation talking points.
Consolidate
Merge 2+ contracts. Identifies the primary vendor and generates implementation steps.
Extend Term
Multi-year commitment modeling with discount tiers at 1, 2, 3, and 5 year terms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Peaqview's Software Asset Management capabilities
Peaqview provides built-in connectors for Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and CASB tools like Netskope and Zscaler. Each connector syncs automatically on your chosen schedule (hourly, every 6 hours, or daily), pulling application usage data from SSO login events, OAuth token grants, and CASB-discovered cloud apps. No agents to install—just API credentials.
Peaqview's SAM is natively integrated into the Enterprise Architecture platform. Every contract is linked to ApplicationComponents, business capabilities, and processes. This means license compliance isn't just a number—it includes impact analysis (which processes are affected if a contract is cancelled), vendor risk across your entire architecture, and rationalization recommendations that factor in actual software usage.
Yes. Upload contract PDFs and Peaqview's AI extracts key fields: vendor, product, contract dates, license quantities, costs, renewal terms, auto-renewal clauses, and cancellation notice periods. You review the extracted data in an interactive form before saving, ensuring accuracy. The extraction supports multi-page contracts and complex pricing structures.
Peaqview compares actual usage data (from SSO/CASB connectors) against licensed quantities in your contracts. It flags over-licensed contracts (paying for unused licenses—potential savings), under-licensed contracts (more users than licenses—audit risk), and near-limit contracts (>90% utilization—needs attention). Each contract gets a compliance status with specific overage counts and savings estimates.
Five scenario types: reduce seats (calculate savings from downsizing), cancel contract (notice deadlines, prorated savings, affected apps), renegotiate (model 5-25% discount tiers with leverage factors), consolidate (merge multiple contracts—identify primary vendor, implementation steps), and extend term (multi-year commitment discounts at 1/2/3/5 year tiers). Each scenario shows 3-year financial projections.
