Who Uses Flexera?

Flexera's solutions are mission-critical for large and complex organizations globally, including many in Flexera India, that need to manage massive technology portfolios:

• IT Asset Management (ITAM) Teams: To maintain an accurate inventory, manage the asset lifecycle, and defend against complex software vendor audits (IBM, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft).
• FinOps and Cloud Cost Optimization Teams: To gain visibility into multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) spending, allocate costs, and implement policies to eliminate waste.
• Procurement and Finance: To strengthen vendor negotiations, optimize Flexera software licensing, and control runaway SaaS and cloud costs.
• Security Teams: Utilizing Software Vulnerability Manager to identify and prioritize security risks based on an accurate asset inventory.
