Gartner^® Market Guide for Software Asset Management Tools

Flexera is recognized as a Representative Vendor

ITAM and SPVM leaders need SAM solutions that will keep up with today’s ever-changing world of licenses, SaaS management and GenAI. It’s crucial for these leaders to know everything they can—all the capabilities and limitations—to determine which one will have the most positive impact on all their organization’s business functions and longer-term SAM strategy.

Undergoing that assessment and picking a solution that unifies SAM management across hybrid environments can have significant payoffs. Take it from Gartner—they project that, "by 2028, organizations that merge SAM and FinOps into a central governance function will report 60% less financial waste from software and cloud investments over 2024."¹

We believe this Gartner Market Guide will guide provides:

• An in-depth market analysis of SaaS spend and SAM trends
• A strategy framework for selecting a SAM tool, plus an overview of the SAM tool market
• A list of Representative Vendors for the SAM market, including Flexera
• Recommendations for selecting the right tool to support your SAM initiative—and more

Read the Market Guide to discover which SAM tool fits your IT needs and will help you develop a broader SAM strategy for your organization.
