# Asato
> Asato is an agentic AI platform that helps enterprise IT leaders — CIOs in
> healthcare, financial services, and public sector — discover, curate, and
> optimize their complete IT asset landscape: SaaS licenses, hardware, and
> compliance. AI agents continuously reconcile fragmented data from tools like
> CASB, IDP, and ERP into a single trusted, decision-grade inventory, then
> autonomously execute optimization actions (reclaiming unused licenses,
> flagging aging hardware, closing compliance gaps) with human-in-the-loop
> control. Backed by Intel Capital. Channel partner: CDW Corporation.
