STANS, Switzerland, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SoftwareOne Holding AG, a leading global provider of end-to-end software and cloud technology solutions, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the 2023 Magic Quadrant for Software Asset Management (SAM) Managed Services. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company's overall completeness of vision and ability to execute.

The company continues to make ongoing investments in its global ITAM and FinOps operations, as well as its IP and sustainable solutions which contribute to its continued success.

Shadi Khoshab, Global Director, ITAM & Software Portfolio Management, SoftwareOne comments: "Being recognized as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for the fourth consecutive year, we feel, is a testament to our daily dedication to providing first-class services. SAM is evolving into a strategic business intelligence function, extending beyond traditional asset management".

At SoftwareOne, we're thrilled to offer unmatched expertise, innovation, and customer-centric service to support and bring value to our clients."

According to the report: "By 2026, growth in spend and complexity will drive 40% of organizations to utilize continuous software asset management (SAM) managed services from expert third parties, up from 20% in 2023." 

"Through 2026, organizations that deploy a cloud financial operations discipline (FinOps) will generate 30% more savings on their cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) costs than those who did not."
