IT Asset Management (ITAM)
Discover all your enterprise’s assets wherever they are
IT Asset Management (ITAM) transforms technology data into actionable intelligence, empowering IT to effectively manage, govern and optimize their hybrid IT estate. With the right asset data, you can discover software and hardware, reduce risk and spend through optimization and control shadow IT.
Move beyond workflows
Eliminate spreadsheet chaos, decrease service tickets, deliver across hybrid IT
Proactive management of technology requires more than workflows. Workflows aren’t going to find missing hardware or calculate license positions for complex software like Microsoft SQL Server, IBM Cloud Paks or Oracle Middleware. Along with automation, you need rich intelligence about how products are licensed, priced and are being used. Flexera automatically calculates your effective license position so you can eliminate spreadsheets and workflows that kick off manual processes.
And in today’s evolving landscape
of hybrid ITAM and FinOps, combining core components of the FinOps framework to extend and include asset management use cases is essential. With software cost, compliance and risk across cloud, containers, SaaS and on-premises in hybrid IT environments, Flexera is the only platform that offers spend, usage and risk management to Inform, Optimize and Operate in today’s reality.
Contracts, renewals, leases
Negotiate based on facts
Let’s face it: software and hardware contracts are opaque. It’s hard to know what all the use rights really mean and how you’re going to stay in compliance or avoid fines. With Flexera One, you’ll have the visibility and insights you need to rightsize contractual agreements and optimize renewals. Flexera’s extensive product use rights libraries, with more than two million entries, enable you to report your effective license position and take the complexity out of vendor agreements. You don’t need to be a lawyer or mathematician to have the upper hand anymore.
Usage data
Use what you have, buy only what you need
With technology spend efficiency, you can find unused, under-used and redundant technology in your environment so you can meet demand with your existing supply. Flexera One’s automated reclamation process removes unused software, so you don’t buy more when you already have unused inventory. Flexera One’s IT Asset Management software automates the IT asset lifecycle so you can quickly find assets that are available, in storage, up for renewal, or coming off lease/warranty. By gaining visibility into underutilized assets, you have the insights to negotiate contracts and control IT spend based on actual usage.
Manage risk proactively
Sail through vendor and regulatory audits
ITAM is the first line of defense as vendor audits, regulatory compliance and security threats dominate your risk exposure. With consistent, clean, complete and accurate data, you avoid messy vendor and compliance audits. When you're informed about what is in the environment, you can quickly determine your level of financial and security exposure. When the auditors come knocking, you’ll have all the information you need to fend them off and avoid unbudgeted audit expenses.
Digital transformation
Gain visibility and insight into your hybrid IT environment
Wherever you are in your digital transformation journey, Flexera One gives you real-time insights on your IT assets that need to be modernized, migrated or retired. Make better decisions with a unified view of your IT landscape across on-premises, SaaS and cloud. Now you can focus on aligning IT with the business and use the power of your IT assets to transform your technology portfolio effectively.
