Great Place to Work^® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

The acceleration of digital transformation across all industries and organizations brings complexities that were unforeseen in years past. The roles of those in ITAM, including the related fields of software asset management (SAM) and hardware asset management (HAM), must evolve with the intricacies and pace introduced by the digital enterprise.

The company’s Flexera One platform delivers technology value optimization (TVO) giving enterprises the most complete view of their complex IT environments and enabling them to proactively manage technology spend and risk. In the drive to digital, Flexera One is becoming the critical platform for enterprises to improve their return on IT and cloud investments and maximize the value of every technology dollar they spend.

“When we announced Snow Atlas, our innovative cloud-native platform, we knew it was just one step on our journey to enable organizations to realize the full potential of technology intelligence. With David joining Snow, this is another significant step on that journey, and we are fortunate to bring in a leader of his caliber and passion for customers,” said Rao. “David’s customer-centric approach and significant multi-segment, digital and SaaS experience is invaluable to Snow and our customers.

“Despite the significant transition that organizations have faced over the past year, it seems that the future of hybrid work is putting IT leaders in a position where they will once again be required to quickly shift gears and adapt to a new reality,” said Alastair Pooley, Chief Information Officer at Snow. “While IT teams are planning and budgeting to enable their businesses, many don’t have the full picture of what their organizations will need when it comes to supporting a truly hybrid workforce.

The introduction of Snow Atlas marks a significant milestone for the company, as it establishes a new way to access Snow’s award-winning technologies and is accompanied by a significant increase in product investment.

“We know that this past year has been especially difficult for many organizations around the world,” said Vishal Rao, President and CEO at Snow. “We introduced the Technology Intelligence Awards to recognize the outstanding work and incredible results our customers deliver every day, even in the face of such challenging circumstances. It is Snow’s way of thanking our customers for their continued partnership, celebrating the impact they are delivering for their organizations and ensuring we continue to help them thrive.”
