State and local solutions
Enhanced IT visibility for better license management
Licensing continues to be a challenge for all organizations in a hybrid IT environment, with 38% of ITAM teams having increased software waste, and 41% with increased SaaS waste, year-over-year. Government agencies need a multi-level, comprehensive approach to discover savings and achieve compliance of their software, cloud and SaaS licenses.
IT solutions for academia
Smarter cost savings options
Between students, faculty and staff, educational institutions have complex and sprawling IT estates that are open to risk due to inability to effectively manage licensing as well as identify and remediate vulnerable, unused, or obsolete software and hardware assets. Flexera offers an educational incentive program in North America that allows academic institutions to use our market-leading application packaging and asset management software, software installer, software update and software license management suite of products—all at a reduced cost.

$120M
in software licensing cost avoidance at a federal agency
With Flexera, we gained accurate IT asset visibility of what we had running in our environment and gained tremendous situational awareness of risk, cost, and usage of our IT investments. This saved us lots of time, and enhanced our productivity and responsiveness greatly. Our risk profile, in all categories went down significantly. One the cost side, we optimized our IT licensing and cost avoided well over $20M in unnecessary spend. The return on investment was exponential in the first year.
Frequently asked questions
Flexera’s IT Asset Management solution is optimized for engineering applications and centralizes license server administration for thousands of concurrently licensed applications, including AutoCAD®, MATLAB®, IBM® Rational®, CATIA® and Petrel. This solution enables unprecedented insight so decision makers can optimize opportunities and reduce costs—ultimately, helping to eliminate the common practice of overspending to avoid denials of service.
Flexera delivers high-quality technology asset data (accurate, normalized, enriched) to avoid wasteful practices such as shelfware, duplicative applications and over- or under-licensing. The waste could be significant, as one major federal agency—the Department of Homeland Security—reported saving $181 million in one year simply by consolidating its enterprise license agreements, according to the Government Accountability Office.
A wide array of product use rights for each software title must be accessed, such as upgrade, downgrade, second use, virtual or container use, disaster recovery and failover rights. With this degree of access to comprehensive license entitlements for key vendors, federal agencies and public sector organizations can minimize license consumption and reach the highest maturity level of software asset management capability: license optimization.
Flexera addresses several pillars within Zero Trust architectures including understanding assets in need of protection and continuously evaluating access to those assets.
