When people hear "app blocker," they usually think of parental controls or personal focus tools. In a business, an app blocker app serves a different purpose. It's less about blocking social media and more about enforcing software policies across all company devices.

Think of it as a digital gatekeeper for your company’s tech environment.

That monthly invoice for your big-name software is just the start. The real cost of your cloud app spend is the total of every software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription active in your company. It’s the main CRM, but it’s also every niche tool used by a single department, quietly growing through automatic renewals and forgotten licenses.

Work flow software is a digital system for organizing business processes from start to finish. It takes a series of tasks, often done by different people or systems, and links them into a single, automated sequence.

A business process is the sequence of steps your team follows to get something done. It could be onboarding a new hire or approving a software purchase. BPM, or Business Process Management, is the discipline of analyzing, improving, and automating those steps. It’s not a one-time project; it's a continuous way of operating.

A Log Analytics Workspace is a central location for your organization's machine data. It's a dedicated environment inside Microsoft Azure that collects, analyzes, and lets you act on telemetry. As part of Azure Monitor Logs, it is designed to be a single source for activity across cloud services, on-premises servers, and user endpoints.

In short, it’s the one place you can go to see all your operational data.
