Flexera enters into definitive agreement to acquire Snow Software
“This acquisition is a big win for the customers and partners of both companies,” said Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Flexera.
To effectively manage your IT estate, you must know and understand the technology running in it. With Snow Software, you can gain a full, accurate picture of your IT estate in order to decrease risk, ease manageability challenges and power informed decision making.
Unless you know the status of your software and cloud services, you could be wasting money or risking a nasty audit surprise. So, how do you ensure compliance and security for software you can’t see? With effective Software Asset Management powered by Snow’s multiple platforms, you can see your entire technology ecosystem, streamline and simplify licences, find opportunities for savings and reduce risk.
Snow Data Intelligence Service is the industry’s largest managed normalisation database, containing more than 600,000 software and SaaS applications.
Snow updates this service daily, adding more than 6,000 new titles every month. Your assets are quickly and easily identified and normalised, with duplicates removed and vendor and product names standardised for easy analysis.
Snow can help you prepare for audits with a full view of all your technology assets, entitlements and agreements and an effective licence position for every software title and vendor.
With visibility over even complex data center titles both virtual and physical, and the capability to track licence agreements against usage in public cloud platforms, you’ll be prepared for anything that comes your way.
Are your software licences earning their keep? Or are too many sitting idle, rolling from one renewal to the next, wasting money?
Effective software license optimisation starts with full discovery, so unused software can be reclaimed and redeployed. With Snow Spend Optimizer, you have the power to make every asset pay its way and generate huge cost savings.
Snow provides complete discovery of your entire environment, revealing blind spots and unknown assets. From PCs and Macs to servers and network devices, mobile devices and routers to printers and firewalls, Snow finds and reports it all.
In addition to native discovery capabilities, Snow collects and consolidates data from multiple point solutions into a single view. You can see all technology usage information in a single dashboard – no more toggling between multiple tools to piece together your technology landscape manually.
“This acquisition is a big win for the customers and partners of both companies,” said Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Flexera.
Snow Copilot is currently being previewed, and is initially available for Software Asset Management (SAM) computer data in Snow Atlas.
It’s a grapple between anxiety over the risks of generative AI and confidence in their SaaS security posture, according to Snow Software.
The Sweden based SAM solutions company currently generates an annual revenue of approximately $175 million.
