Detailed insights to transform federal IT
Lack of centralized visibility into the hybrid IT estate increases risk from non-compliance, vulnerability, wasted spend and inefficient technology usage from on-premise software and hardware to SaaS and cloud. Align with Zero Trust, FITARA, and IT Cyber Security executive orders and mandates with accurate and comprehensive technology data. Make better decisions about managing a federal agency’s sprawling IT environment—so you can save millions.
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.

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.
