Flexera Launches Flexera One Select for IBM

IBM Authorized Service Providers (IASP) are responding favorably:

• “The market demand is growing for improved license consumption reporting and Flexera One Select for IBM helps address these demands,” said Michael Adams, Managing Director with KPMG’s CIO Advisory (CIOA) practice. “It provides a useful entry point for IBM customers who want to address IBM license reporting requirements, then expand their ITAM initiatives to optimize their license position across all vendors.”
• “The release Flexera One Select for IBM addresses a big need that Anglepoint sees in today’s market: an ever-evolving state of change across our customers’ license visibility and reporting requirements,” said Ron Brill, Chairman, Anglepoint. "Hybrid IT environments make it difficult to track and manage IBM license consumption. Customers want a single pane of glass —not separate tools—to manage deployments, whether on-premises, cloud, SaaS, or for containerized workloads.”

“Flexera saves larger enterprises millions of dollars through software license optimization for major software vendors including IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and many others,” said Cyndi Tackett, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Flexera. “With Flexera One Select for IBM, we give industry-leading insights into IBM software consumption to help streamline and optimize license reporting, at a time when frequently changing customer environments can be quite costly for enterprises.”
