“Winning all three award categories is a huge honor, particularly knowing that the feedback is directly shared from our customers,” says Paula Darvell, Chief Marketing Officer at Snow. “Organizations today cannot afford to invest in tools that do not deliver on their promises. Our relentless focus on furthering innovation for our customers and partnering with them to deliver the actionable insights, agility and scale they need, allows our customers to create positive impact with Snow.”

“We have received this honor from our Chicago-area employees for twelve consecutive years, and it is something I don’t take for granted.” said Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Flexera. “We continue to focus on listening to our employees and providing a culture in which they can thrive.”

The Council operates the world’s largest community for public and private sector CxO executives and practitioners, helping them increase the value derived from IT projects across cloud, emerging technologies, portfolio investments, and resources across their organizations. Flexera provides discovery, normalization and correlation of IT data that helps enterprises understand and use their Enterprise Technology Blueprint™ to manage cost, risk and future investment for on-premises, cloud and SaaS solutions.

“According to Flexera 2023 Tech Spend Pulse research, Salesforce represents one of the largest vendors in terms of spend for organizations globally,” said Cyndi Tackett, SVP of Marketing at Flexera. “There is a massive opportunity for these organizations to gain visibility into their Salesforce instances and uncover optimization opportunities that lead to realized savings.”

As digital transformation accelerates, enterprises navigate inflation, workplace norms change, and the demand for innovation grows. Many IT professionals are returning to offices; the associated vendor costs and hefty cloud commitments are rising, as is the challenge of optimizing spend. Though wasteful IT spending is subsiding, cost optimization decision-making remains laborious. A thorough understanding of IT assets is vital; top organizations leverage data for decisions, prioritize spend efficiency and harness the power of artificial intelligence.

“Technology is a significant investment for most organizations, as IDC predicts IT spending will continue to increase to $3.25 trillion in 20231,” said Sanjay Castelino, Chief Product and Customer Officer at Snow. “However, it is incredibly challenging for most organizations to understand exactly what they are using and how much they are spending. That’s why we continue to develop new capabilities that create further transparency into complex IT environments.

Ninety-six percent of respondents indicated they were still ‘confident or very confident’ in their organization’s SaaS security measures, and yet, ‘managing the security of SaaS applications’ is the top challenge for IT leaders.

“This year’s third annual Technology Intelligence Awards gives us a moment to recognize the continuous work and incredible achievements of our customers and partners as they recognize the value of Technology Intelligence,” said Vishal Rao, President and CEO at Snow. “We are at a time where the expectation and need has never been greater for delivering impact, and the successes of our customers are an impressive reminder of the value of creativity and dedication when implementing programs of this nature.”

“Flexera’s research highlights a greater focus on corporate efficiencies,” said Cyndi Tackett, SVP of Marketing at Flexera. “Around the globe, ITAM professionals find themselves at the nexus of key enterprise initiatives, including cost savings, FinOps, security, and even ESG programs, such as those that track carbon emissions. This puts more pressure on ITAM teams to stay nimble, flexible, and manage a single source of truth for IT data and insights.”
