Kabeen joins CANUT for public sector application mapping

Kabeen has officially joined CANUT, a French central purchasing body dedicated to public sector organizations. This listing gives eligible members a simpler way to access our platform for application mapping, IT governance, and shadow IT detection.

What is CANUT?

CANUT is a French public procurement body that helps administrations, local authorities, public institutions, and organizations carrying out public service missions purchase digital solutions through a compliant framework. It references selected providers and negotiates conditions that simplify public procurement.

For public buyers, CANUT reduces administrative workload, secures the purchasing process, and provides access to pre-negotiated conditions. For IT teams, it can accelerate access to tools that address very practical challenges: application inventory, IT governance, compliance, cost rationalization, and digital transformation.

Why this listing matters for Kabeen

Since the beginning, Kabeen has helped IT departments regain control of their application portfolio. Public sector organizations face especially demanding constraints: service continuity, security, digital sovereignty, budget pressure, application debt, and a growing number of business applications.

Joining CANUT follows our listing in the UGAP catalog and reinforces our compliance commitments, already supported by our ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications. It reflects a clear belief: public organizations should be able to access reliable solutions quickly when they need to understand, govern, and secure their information system.

Kabeen through CANUT: easier procurement for the public sector

Through this listing, eligible organizations can access Kabeen within a structured public procurement framework instead of launching a long dedicated tender for each need. In practice, this helps them:

• access an application mapping platform designed for IT teams;
• build a reliable and shared application inventory;
• identify redundant, underused, or unmanaged applications;
• detect shadow IT and real application usage;
• support budget decisions with objective data;
• create clearer application governance between IT and business teams.

Use case: helping a local authority regain control of its IT

Consider a mid-sized French local authority. Its IT department has to track hundreds of applications: legacy business tools, SaaS solutions adopted by departments, locally installed software, critical spreadsheets, and applications sometimes purchased outside the standard IT process.

Without a shared source of truth, visibility becomes fragile. Costs are hard to consolidate, duplicate tools multiply, shadow IT increases, and rationalization decisions rely too often on partial information.

With Kabeen, that IT department can, in just a few weeks:

1. map the real application landscape from observed usage;
2. centralize key information in a source of truth usable by IT and business teams;
3. identify redundant, obsolete, or rarely used applications;
4. support budget decisions with data when speaking to leadership and elected officials;
5. structure long-term governance using the best practices of a modern CMDB.

Procurement through CANUT shortens the contractual phase. Teams can focus on rollout, adoption, and business value.
