探花系列 is now Part of the Okta Integration Network (OIN) - Bringing Deeper Visibility, Security, and Control to Your Software Stack

Managing today鈥檚 software landscape isn鈥檛 just about keeping costs under control. It鈥檚 about knowing who uses what, why they use it, and what risk it introduces.

That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e excited to announce our new partnership with Okta, a leading identity and access management provider. Through this collaboration, 探花系列 now integrates seamlessly with Okta Identity Provider (IDP) - unlocking a new level of visibility, governance, and automation for modern IT teams.

This partnership marks an important step in helping organizations regain control over their growing software ecosystems - without adding more manual work.

馃З Why Identity Data Is the Missing Piece in Software Management

Most companies today run hundreds of SaaS applications. Licenses are purchased across teams, access changes constantly, and ownership isn鈥檛 always clear. The result?

  • Unused licenses that quietly drain budgets
  • Shadow IT that bypasses security and compliance checks
  • Manual audits that consume time but still leave blind spots

Identity data sits at the center of all of this. Who has access to which tool is one of the most accurate signals of real usage, ownership, and risk - yet it鈥檚 rarely connected to procurement and governance workflows.

That鈥檚 where the 探花系列 x Okta integration comes in.

馃攷 What the 探花系列 x Okta Integration Delivers

By integrating directly with Okta IDP, 探花系列 connects identity data with software lifecycle management - turning access insights into actionable governance.

1. Seamless Integration with Okta IDP

探花系列 connects natively with Okta, enabling IT teams to enrich their software inventory with real-time user and access data - without complex setup or manual exports.

2. AI-Powered Insights on Usage and Risk

Using Okta identity signals, 探花系列 applies AI to identify:

  • Underused or unused tools
  • Orphaned accounts and access risks
  • Applications with unclear ownership

This transforms raw access data into clear recommendations for cost reduction and risk mitigation.

3. Automated IT Compliance

With visibility into who accesses what, compliance becomes proactive instead of reactive. 探花系列 helps ensure that:

  • Only authorized users access sensitive tools
  • Access aligns with internal policies and regulatory requirements
  • Documentation is audit-ready - without spreadsheets

4. Shadow IT Detection

Okta data often reveals tools that were never formally approved. 探花系列 surfaces these applications automatically - giving IT and procurement teams a single source of truth across approved and unapproved software.

5. Reduced Workload and Lower Costs

By automating discovery, usage analysis, and compliance workflows, teams spend less time chasing data - and more time making strategic decisions. The result:

  • Fewer manual audits
  • Lower software waste
  • Faster, data-driven decisions

馃洝锔 Why This Matters for IT Teams and Everyone Managing Software

This partnership isn鈥檛 just an integration - it鈥檚 a shift toward identity-driven software governance.

With 探花系列 and Okta working together, organizations can:

  • Align access management with procurement and compliance
  • Reduce risk without slowing down teams
  • Turn identity data into measurable business impact

Instead of reacting to renewals, audits, or incidents, IT teams gain the visibility needed to stay ahead.
