Frequently asked questions
Flexera One Select for IBM is a unique offering that allows customers to purchase a lightweight version of our Flexera One ITAM solution to provide SAM insights solely to your IBM estate.
IT asset management (ITAM) software records and tracks the lifecycle of all IT assets in an organization. Leverage Flexera to proactively avoid common software resource-related issues such as unmanaged access to software, overuse of software licenses and license sprawl.
IT asset management solutions enable the monitoring, tracking and management of who and what is in your IT infrastructure. This visibility allows you to understand what components are accessible to whom and adjust manager control wherever necessary. With Flexera, you can also grasp end-of-life and end-of-service intrusion points of your assets, which can help you keep your IT estate up-to-date and ready to combat any issues.
While similar, ITAM and configuration management databases (CMDB) differ in purpose and goals. ITAM intends to provide an overview of IT assets, particularly concerning their lifecycle, to minimize security risks, reduce costs, maximize the business value of technology and make IT-related decisions easier. A CMDB is a centralized repository (like a filing system) used to store all an IT environment’s data. It is the fuel organizations use to monitor, track and manage all IT assets in one place.
