Flexera Software Asset Management
You Can't Optimize What You Can't See. Flexera Makes Your Software Estate Visible.
Flexera provides full software asset management across your entire estate, not just IBM software. When combined with ILMT for IBM-specific sub-capacity licensing, it gives you the complete picture of what your software is costing you and what migration would change.
What You Don't Know About Your Software Estate Is Costing You
"We don't have a reliable inventory of what software we're running"
Organizations without full software asset management consistently discover software in production they didn't know they had, and licenses they're paying for software they're not using.
"Our software audit preparation takes weeks every time"
Without automated SAM tooling, audit preparation is a manual exercise that consumes significant IT capacity. Flexera automates the data collection that makes audits manageable.
"We're renewing software licenses without knowing our actual utilization"
License renewals made without utilization data consistently result in over-licensing. Flexera provides the utilization data that makes right-sizing negotiations possible.
"We're planning a cloud migration and need to understand our software licensing position first"
Software licensing is one of the most significant cost factors in cloud migration. Understanding your full licensing position across all vendors before migration begins is essential to accurate TCO modeling.
"We're managing IBM licensing with ILMT but need broader software visibility"
ILMT covers IBM sub-capacity licensing. Flexera extends that visibility to your entire software estate, including Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and thousands of other vendors.
"Our software costs are growing but we can't explain why"
Without SAM tooling, software cost growth is often invisible until it shows up in invoices. Flexera provides the ongoing visibility that makes software cost management proactive rather than reactive.
Complete Software License Visibility
Flexera One / FlexNet Manager
Full software asset management across your entire estate. Automated discovery, license reconciliation, and optimization recommendations across all software vendors.
ILMT for IBM Sub-Capacity
IBM's sub-capacity licensing requires specialized tooling. ILMT handles IBM-specific compliance requirements that Flexera doesn't cover on its own.
Migration Readiness Modeling
The software licensing data Flexera surfaces is essential input to cloud migration TCO modeling. We use your actual licensing data, not industry averages, to build the financial case.
Ongoing SAM Practice
Software asset management is not a one-time exercise. CleanSlate supports ongoing SAM practices that keep your licensing position current as your environment evolves.
Software Licensing Clarity Is Part of COBRA™
COBRA™ includes licensing analysis across IBM, Oracle, VMware, and Windows as part of its standard scope. Flexera and ILMT data informs the financial model that makes migration decisions defensible.
