We ranked first in every Use Case category.
Complete Software & Cloud SAM Services
“This use case represents the provider’s ability to deliver a continuous managed service across the complete software and cloud portfolio, including FinOps addressing CIPS consumption. Complete SAM managed services include all ongoing discipline and activities."
Hybrid Software and Cloud SAM Services
“This use case addresses a provider’s ability to deliver shared, continuous services to manage the software portfolio and cloud services alongside internal SAM and FinOps functions. Hybrid SAM managed services deliver continuous discipline on a shared basis with internal SAM and FinOps resources."
Scheduled Software & Cloud SAM Services
“Scheduled services represent the provider’s capability to deliver an ongoing but noncontinuous service across the software and cloud portfolio, where deliverables are periodically provided. This use case represents a compromise between continuous managed service delivery and utilizing third-party expertise for one-off tactical activities."
Three for Three.
We’re incredibly proud to be recognized as a Leader, for the third year running, in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Asset Management Managed Services where we were once again placed highest on the Ability to Execute and furthest on the Completeness of Vision axes.
“SAM and FinOps require capable resources and specific skills, processes and governance to curtail software and cloud costs and drive effective governance. Sourcing, procurement and vendor management leaders can use this research to source services and providers to augment capability.”
We’re in this together.
“I’m grateful to our exceptional team and valued clients for their unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. It’s their tireless efforts, innovation, and commitment to our shared vision that have allowed Anglepoint to aim higher. We’re very proud of the results we have been able to consistently achieve together."
In the words of our clients.
“Anglepoint is always knowledgeable and professional in helping to determine our overall risk as well as identifying process areas we can improve upon. They hire experts who have worked for software publishers like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, etc. that have been the auditors. They know how the publishers will try to find areas of non-compliance and help guide us in the right direction. Anglepoint also keeps up to date on all licensing changes, like the most recent Oracle Java changes, and helps direct based on the information that is known at the time.”
