ITASCA, Ill., Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flexera, the global leader in Technology Intelligence, today announces the winners of the fourth annual Technology Intelligence Awards. The awards recognize organizations that have demonstrated exceptional achievements in leveraging Technology Intelligence to drive growth, innovation and positive impact.
“We are proud to recognize the very best in ITAM, FinOps, SaaS and many other categories,” stated Jim Ryan, President and CEO at Flexera. “Approximately 47% of the world's infrastructure is currently run on-premises, with 53% in the cloud. This signifies a tipping point for hybrid technology. Regardless of where the ITAM and FinOps disciplines reside in an organization, the two are rapidly converging. Companies that gain visibility and intelligence in a hybrid environment are likely to make better technology decisions, manage risk better and reduce costs in a more effective way. It is great to see Flexera customers lead innovation with the help of our products.”
Technology Intelligence is the ability to understand and manage all your technology across on-premises, SaaS and cloud investments. By having a comprehensive picture of all the technology across your organization, you can ensure that your investments are delivering value. This intelligence is fundamental to making more data-driven decisions about your technology, allowing business and IT leaders to use these insights across strategic initiatives, whether driving growth, fostering innovation, or fortifying resilience.
"The Technology Intelligence Awards offer us a chance to celebrate the ongoing efforts and remarkable accomplishments of our customers," stated Josh Fraser, SVP, Global Presales, Customer Success & Support at Flexera. "In a time when the demand for demonstrated technology value has never been higher, our customers' successes underscore the immense value of creativity and dedication in implementing such programs."
