Salto reimagines the way enterprise systems are configured and managed. It does so by bringing concepts and methodologies from the software development and DevOps worlds - the use of structured language, version control and automation - into the systems operations environment. Enterprise systems management is becoming more and more crucial to the success of modern companies and, at Salto, we believe that providing system operations teams with the right tools will help them meet the rapidly changing business needs of their companies and lead them to success. Providing both an Open Source and an Enterprise SaaS product, Salto enables business systems and IT professionals to manage their Systems configuration holistically and efficiently, turning otherwise manual, ad-hoc and error-prone workflows into streamlined and automated processes. By extracting the configurations of different enterprise systems, including Salesforce, NetSuite, Zendesk, Jira and Okta, and translating them to one single declarative representation, we empower those professionals to understand, change, track and deploy all of their configurations, across their different enterprise systems.
