SoftwareOne (SIX: SWON), a global software and cloud solutions provider, announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SAM Managed Services for the seventh consecutive year. The recognition highlights the company's sustained performance in helping clients achieve measurable value from their cloud, software, and AI investments as licensing models continue to shift.
Software asset management (SAM) gives organizations visibility and control over their on-premises IT, cloud, and SaaS estates. SoftwareOne helps customers simplify these portfolios, improving financial control and managing licensing and audit risks, so they can direct resources toward business priorities and innovation. The company's ITAM and FinOps portfolio brings together software asset management, FinOps and AI optimization, SaaS management, IT sustainability advisory, and vendor management. These services help clients cut waste, manage audit risks, and enter publisher negotiations with a clear picture of what technology they use and what it costs.
Raphael Erb, CEO of SoftwareOne, said the consecutive recognition matters because consistency is what customers buy. "The technology landscape continues to grow more complex as organizations navigate an ever-expanding mix of software licensing, cloud consumption, and AI-driven business models," Erb said. "Our customers need a partner whose judgement holds up through all of it. We see this recognition as validation of the expertise, commitment, and customer focus that our teams bring to every engagement, every day."
The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors based on their Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. SoftwareOne views its recognition as a reflection of the consistency of its SAM managed services and the work of its delivery teams. Positioned alongside SoftwareOne in the Magic Quadrant as a Leader is Anglepoint, an independent company that is majority-owned by SoftwareOne.
