The more you understand your IT landscape, the more value you can unlock

IT environments continue to expand across SaaS, cloud and AI—bringing more complexity and more cost exposure with them. Yet many organizations still don’t have a complete view of what they own, use or need.

That lack of visibility makes it harder to control spend, respond to audits and make confident decisions about where to invest next. It also limits your ability to turn IT data into meaningful financial outcomes.

This infographic from the Flexera 2026 State of ITAM Report explores how improving visibility and building more mature ITAM practices helps organizations move beyond guesswork. With stronger data, teams can optimize spend, reduce risk and uncover new opportunities for savings across the entire IT estate.

The report sheds light on the opinions and reasoning of over 500 global IT decision makers, including the hands-on practitioners of ITAM, as well as those who influence and/or are involved in ITAM practices from within other teams in their organization. And take our ITAM assessment to see how advanced your ITAM practices are.
