Techniques for enabling a network access provider to make automatic Software as a Service (SaaS) optimization decisions. Among other things, the techniques may include determining a SaaS application that is being accessed by client endpoints via flows through a network access provider. The techniques may also include determining, based at least in part on a policy associated with the network access provider, whether to enable network optimizations for traffic through the network access provider to the SaaS application. Based at least in part on a determination that the network optimizations are to be enabled for the traffic to the SaaS application, the techniques may include installing a service definition associated with the SaaS application in a service policy database of the network access provider.
