In short: Beamy maps your application portfolio from the real usages detected on your employees' workstations. The home page and Ask Beamy point you to the right modules to analyze your ecosystem, rationalize your portfolio and communicate with your employees.
The four value promises
Every Beamy module contributes to one or more of these promises:
Observability: Understand the real usages of your digital ecosystem: which applications are used, by whom, how often, in which context.
Digital Integrity: Control shadow IT, strengthen compliance and reduce the risk surface.
IT Simplification: Rationalize redundancies, standardize by domain and optimize costs.
Usage Steering: Guide employees toward standards and measure the impact of your governance actions.
How Beamy observes your ecosystem
Beamy relies on three complementary sources to build a unified view of your portfolio:
Web Extension (WBE): installed on employee browsers, it detects web applications in use and measures usage in real time.
Desktop Agent: deployed on Windows and macOS workstations, it detects installed native applications and their real usage.
Complementary Sources: import your external data (CMDB, contracts, licenses, HRIS) to enrich Product Sheets and structure organizational domains.
These three building blocks continuously feed the Apps Inventory and the Dimensions of the platform.
The home page and Ask Beamy
The home page centralizes Ask Beamy, the platform's conversational assistant. You ask a question in natural language and receive an analysis, a visualization, or a direct link to the relevant module.
Quick actions under the prompt bar redirect you to the most frequent paths: explore usage data, compare the application ecosystem, manage communications with employees.
The history of your conversations stays accessible from the navigation bar so you can resume an analysis at any time.
A three-zone navigation
The navigation bar separates daily-use modules, analytical dimensions, and portfolio steering tools :
Main modules: Home, Notifications, Dashboards, Apps Inventory, Segments, Guidance.
Dimensions: Tech, People, Process to analyze 100% of your ecosystem through the application, organizational, or business lens.
Portfolio Intelligence: Organizational Map and Prioritization Matrix to segment and prioritize your application portfolio.
The configuration menu (Settings, Supplementary Sources, Automations, user management) is in the top left, next to your company name. Favorite pages can be pinned in one click for direct access from any module.
Analysis modules
Apps Inventory and Product Sheets
The Apps Inventory lists every detected application with its usage metrics. Each application has a Product Sheet structured in tabs: Usage, Product Info, Settings.
The Usage tab brings together the key metrics, evolution curves, user profile and organizational reach of the application.
Tech, People, Process Dimension Sheets
Three analytical dimensions complete the application view:
Tech: Usage by functional scope to surface sub-categories without a standard and identify redundancies.
People : Usage by organizational domain (BU, country, department) to steer IT by business scope.
Processes: Usage by business activity or process, for customers subscribed to the Business Process offering.
Each dimension sheet provides the same building blocks: global metrics, usage evolution, application Prioritization Matrix and breakdown by domain.
Portfolio Intelligence
The Portfolio Intelligence section offers two distinct views allowing you to segment your portfolio and prioritize your actions:
The Organizational Map visualizes the distribution of a metric (shadow IT, usage for instance) across your entire organization.
The Prioritization Matrix crosses business criticality with usage transversality to identify the applications on which to focus your efforts.
Action modules
Segments
Segments group applications by business need. They structure your rationalization strategy and let you delegate governance over a given scope to a dedicated owner.
Guidance
The Guidance module lets you display Beams in employees' browsers: redirect to an approved alternative, inform, satisfaction survey (CSAT), or investigation campaign.
Dashboards and Automations
Dashboards provide aggregated views to steer your governance and report to your stakeholders. Automations trigger actions when the conditions you define are met.
