**Testimonials**

### Peter Fallowfield, IT Manager
"When I started at my company there was a lot of shadow IT and people with their own subscriptions. Without Cledara, it would have been very tricky to track and pass our ISO 27001 certification."

### Takashi Lawson, Finance and IT Director
"Prior to Cledara, we found it really hard to keep track of software. We were spending a lot of time finding out which team was responsible for what."

### Jenny Liu, Head of Finance
"Cledara Engage immediately captured 15% more subscriptions we hadn't heard of and automatically linked them to our account so that I could look for the owner.
