Flexera to acquire Snow Software

in a major narrowing of ITAM / ISAM providers in the market ...

Clients with funds to spare no doubt mulled over - and most likely performed a market comparison - across these 2 players, and now, they will be left with .... one.

A win for clients or a dent to market competitiveness ... well remember - there are alternatives !

Flexera's announcement would suggest that the "Joint offering and strengthened partner network will provide customers with more data and capabilities to understand their IT environments, manage cost and reduce risk", and interestingly (at least for now) state that they will "continue to innovate, enhance, maintain, and support both Flexera and Snow solutions".

Now for those organizations that aren't flush with funds, and don't need a full FinOp's solution, but perhaps just want to get across their IT hardware and software landscape and garner control of those assets why not look at the niche solutions market here - including our own ComplianceWare product - you might well find that you can have a product at a much lower cost that meets your needs and solves the problems you have, without over investing in inflated platforms that are over-loaded, over-sold, and over-priced for what you actually need.
