Flexera announced Technology Intelligence Platform powered by Technopedia®, its next-generation data and analytics platform for Flexera One.
Technology Intelligence Platform is a “system of insight” built to solve the new challenges facing IT leaders seeking to bridge the gap between ITAM and FinOps - including cloud license management and GreenOps - and will serve as Flexera’s foundation for additional innovation in artificial intelligence (AI).
"Hybrid IT isn't getting any easier,” stated Jim Ryan, President and CEO at Flexera. “Organizations are struggling to manage spend and risk holistically across their hybrid IT environment as data is siloed across disconnected teams, tools and technologies. This creates a ‘visibility gap’ resulting in wasted money, hidden risks, and missed opportunities in vendor negotiations. The convergence of FinOps and ITAM data is essential to comprehensively managing your technology investments. Today’s announcement lays the foundation for intelligent cloud and on-premises technology spend management, allowing our customers to negotiate with their technology suppliers from position of strength and manage their full hybrid IT estate.”
The new Technology Intelligence Platform is built on a unified, extensible data model for technology assets, an advanced analytics engine and a modern data lakehouse. Flexera’s Technology Intelligence Platform is powered by Technopedia, the world’s most expansive enriched technology catalog.
Customers with access to the Technology Intelligence Platform will be able to add their own data, create custom reports, and access their data via API. Flexera’s Technology Intelligence Platform currently supports Flexera One IT Visibility, with ongoing innovations to cultivate more ITAM, FinOps and SaaS management data that address advanced use cases like cloud license management and GreenOps.
Flexera One IT Visibility provides organizations with comprehensive visibility into their hybrid IT environment and allows you to surface details on end of life, end of support and software vulnerabilities to minimize risk, duplicate application usage to address wasted spend, monitor carbon emissions and report on compliance or regulatory standards to better meet corporate sustainability goals and more.
The latest Flexera One IT Visibility release delivers:
- A unified data model for technology assets: Gain a comprehensive and consistent picture of your technology ecosystem, including relationships between technology assets.
- An advanced analytics engine: Support data-driven decisions with scalable reporting and advanced visualization using Microsoft Power BI.
- Enhanced extensibility: Ingest and transform your own data with flexible GraphQL APIs to feed clean, enriched inventory data to other business systems.
- Accelerated data pipeline to ServiceNow: Deliver and send clean, normalized data to your ServiceNow CMDB or other IT ecosystem tools faster than ever before with new API integrations.
“Silos across technologies and departments create blockers not only for IT, but for entire organizations,” said Brian Shannon, Chief Technology Officer at Flexera. “This is why Flexera is determined to break down the barriers across data, technologies and departments to provide a complete picture of your IT environment. We bring together existing data sources with our extensive reference catalog, Technopedia, to enrich your data and provide the details that matter most to you. These insights are vital to address use cases across ITAM, FinOps, SaaS management and beyond.”
Current Flexera One IT Visibility customers will gain access to the Technology Intelligence Platform as part of their existing subscription.
