Softline strengthens SAM solution competence with Flexera Software Partnership

New platinum partner for comprehensive Software Asset Management

(PresseBox) (Leipzig, )
The Softline Group, an independent specialist for Software Asset Management (SAM), not only wishes to offer comprehensive process advice but also to provide the best possible SAM solutions which meet customer requirements. The market leader, a modular-based expandable SAM-Tool, FlexNet Manager Platform by Flexera Software, is the only Enterprise License Optimization solution that automates entitlement based license management to reduce license, maintenance and audit costs while maintaining license compliance. This is why Flexera Software has been awarded Platinum Technology Partner status in the area of Software Asset Management at Softline.

To ensure that customers have access to optimal advice, the Softline Group created a certification programme for its technology partners. As one of the select few in the area Software Asset Management, a core competency of the internationally active IT consulting company, the enterprise license optimization software developer and market leader, Flexera Software has now been granted Platinum Partner status. A recently signed Alliance Partner agreement, also being announced today, formalises the cooperation with Flexera Software within Europe. As no single suitable SAM tool exists for all organisations and purposes, Softline - a developer and licence independent specialist - has contracted other developers too such as Snow Software.

"As an independent specialist for Software Asset Management, we consider it very important that we can offer our customers a full solution suite. Now a customer is able to get an insight into the complex environment of a datacenter in which Oracle and SAP play a significant role. In Flexera Software we have found a new Platinum Partner whose products provide broad-based solutions to optimize the software estate across the enterprise, enabling it to meet current and future needs.", explains Leo Meijer, EMEA Service Line Director SAM and Director Operations of the recently founded Softline Solutions Netherlands B.V. In his capacity as SAM specialist, he was the main contact person for the contract with Flexera Software.

"We are pleased to welcome Softline Group into the Flexera Software Alliance Partner Program," said Timothy Boudreau, vice president of strategic alliances at Flexera Software. "They have demonstrated excellence in the industry as evidenced by having been awarded Platinum Partner status by leading technology organizations such as Microsoft, Ctirix, VMware. We are confident they will provide tremendous value to their customers in establishing software asset management best practices based on our FlexNet Manager Suite.
