Snow Atlas
What it is
Snow Atlas is Flexera’s cloud-native software asset management platform for ITAM teams. It helps establish a defensible software license position and identify ways to reduce software spending through usage insights and optimization. The platform matches entitlements with applied licenses to calculate an effective license position, with verified data for Oracle Database, Java, E-Business Suite, and Middleware. Agents, APIs, and connectors consolidate hardware and software assets, while AI-based importing handles contracts and entitlement records such as invoices, purchase orders, and quotes. Its catalog normalizes and enriches more than 800,000 applications from over 110,000 manufacturers. Usage metering can surface shadow IT, SaaS, and unsanctioned applications. Hardware management tracks lifecycle details, warranties, users, and applications. Read and write REST APIs automate data updates and bulk changes. Snow Atlas runs on Microsoft Azure, with selectable regions in Amsterdam, London, Victoria, and Virginia. Flexera lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/ISE 27001, and Cloud Security Alliance STAR certifications. Pricing is available on request, with no free plan stated.
