We ranked first in every Use Case category in the 2024 report.
Complete Software & Cloud SAM Services
“This use case represents all ongoing SAM discipline activities delivered on a continuous basis across the client’s entire software and cloud portfolio. It incorporates transformative proficiency, delivering enhanced maturity and ROI across deliverables.”
Hybrid Software and Cloud SAM Services
“This use case represents a provider’s capability to deliver shared continuous services to manage the software and cloud portfolio alongside an internal SAM function. For example, responsibility is shared across vendors or SAM life cycle components.”
Scheduled Software & Cloud SAM Services
“This involves noncontinuous services delivered on a part-time or cyclical basis as an alternative to continuous services. It represents enhancement to one-off, tactical SAM.”
“SAM and FinOps need capable resources and specialist skills, processes, and governance to optimize software and cloud costs and drive effective governance. Sourcing, procurement and vendor management leaders should use this research to source services and providers that augment their capabilities.”
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 has strong licensing expertise for major software publishers, a good understanding of how to stand up for new SAM programs, and allows me, as the IT Asset Manager, to focus on strategy instead of day-to-day operations. The service has freed up my time to implement ITAM strategies that help achieve our strategic goals.”
“Anglepoint are extremely good to deal with, they are a very efficient and organised company, from the signing of our contract to where we are now almost a year later. Their software knowledge is very high across multiple vendors, the people which they employ on their teams are true SMEs and most are ex auditors of that vendor .”
“We started out using Anglepoint for our IBM Managed Service. They did a such a great job with that, we decided to use them for our SAM Managed Service. As a managed service, which now includes IBM, they are a terrific group to work with. I feel like they are partners in our growth.”
“It's clear that Anglepoint brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table and will be a true partner as we navigate the complex web that is compliance for government software.”
“The people are very confident and knowledgeable. Fast and reliable expertise with all of our top publishers. It never fails to amaze me the detailed information this team has for each unique publisher. I also appreciate the professionalism from the staff, always helpful and willing to go the extra mile when needed.”
“Anglepoint provide an excellent service. Delivering detailed analysis of our licensing position with clear explanations enabling us to leverage their deep publisher knowledge and expertise which we could not maintain in house. More importantly they have ensured our understanding of our license position and called out important issues with realistic course of action to address them.”
