Case Study: ConvertroTaking control of SaaS Application Sprawl

Background

Convertro is one of the industry’s leading marketing optimization platforms that provides marketers with analytics about their ads across different channels, formats, and segments. After just 5 months of using Bitium, Convertro, based in Santa Monica and recently acquired by AOL, has already benefited from the productivity gains by decreasing the time it normally took to manage and provision apps, users, and passwords.

Business Needs for Convertro

In order for Convertro to calculate ROI for their customers’ marketing channels, they need to import spend data from their customers’ applications (i.e. Google Adwords, Bing, Commission Junction). This means they need to know and securely manage all the login credentials for these apps.

Prior to Bitium, they were storing all of these usernames and passwords in a manner that was creating logistical management challenges. As they grew, they realized they needed a more efficient way to manage passwords and provision apps to their employees.

When they started evaluating solutions, they were looking at password managers but they liked the additional features Bitium provided. Misha Silin, Product Manager at Convertro said, “We liked the idea of a SaaS platform and all the extra security, provisioning, app management, and Single Sign-on capabilities.”

Convertro currently manages over 521 apps and uses Bitium as their central administrative dashboard to do the following:

By utilizing Bitium’s features, such as groups, the admins were able to organize their apps and users in a more efficient way. Misha added, “Bitium eliminated a lot of steps from our password management and provisioning workflow.”

The additional time and resource savings came from leveraging Bitium’s pre-integrated application catalog, which means they could add new apps that their team needed access to with a few clicks. Misha commented, “One of the best things about Bitium is all the custom app integrations they provide. We’ve had about 20 requests and Bitium’s turnaround time was always quick.”

Though they weren’t initially looking for a single sign-on solution, all employees have enjoyed one click access to all the apps they use. Misha commented, “It just makes the day-to-day easier.”
