Flexera One Upgrade
It’s time to modernize your IT infrastructure
Enterprise technology leaders find themselves in the crosshairs of change daily, tasked with managing the explosion of technology within their organizations. Pressures are only accelerated by the rocket fuel that is AI, leaving you to contend with managing costs while rethinking your technology usage as new needs emerge.
Relying solely upon on-premises solutions in the age of SaaS, cloud and AI leaves you with limited to no visibility into how your organization is using those technologies, especially when it comes to your ability to optimize and accelerate defense against security risks. As spend and risk continue to explode, is your organization prepared for the shift?
Flexera One: An IT modernization platform for future-ready organizations
Unify technology
Unify technology to get a handle on spend and asset management
Flexera One is the single source of truth for technology cost, compliance and optimization, with solutions spanning from IT asset management to IT visibility and FinOps. Flexera One gives you the power to unlock, accelerate and unify IT modernization. When you migrate Flexera on-premises to cloud, you move from a fragmented, decentralized landscape to a system with unified technology management practices across on-premises, SaaS, cloud and AI applications and workloads.
Maintain security
How we handle your data and maintain security
Flexera One is built on a foundation of enterprise-grade security, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001 certifications, encryption, role-based access control (RBAC) and SSO/SAML. All customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-leading standards, and access is safeguarded through role-based controls and SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO). The Flexera One platform undergoes continuous monitoring, vulnerability assessments and independent audits to ensure compliance with global regulations, such as GDPR and HIPAA.
Ensure regulatory compliance
Uncomplicate renewals and audits by staying one step ahead
Audit readiness procedures and vendor renewals are draining—and they also drain brainpower. This adds unnecessary stress to your team. Modernize IT asset management (ITAM) and stay one step ahead of that rigorous process with Four Flexera One Software Asset Management (SAM) solution by boosting your intelligence with critical insights into your software environment. Track licensing terms, user activity and entitlements with ease. This allows you to avoid expensive surprises by continuously optimizing your software spend with the right audit defense in place.
When I joined ISS, we were mainly using the product to address licensing audits at that point of time. Then, in 2019, we took the decision to move to Flexera in the cloud. We did the migration, scratching what was on premises and starting new. Since then, with time and different business priorities, such as the move to cloud, we decided to grow into the full suite of Flexera One.
Taking tech savings to new heights with Flexera One
According to Flexera’s 2025 State of ITAM Report, most customers report that 25% of their SaaS spend is wasted. Flexera’s Cloud Forward program is built to help you cut that bloat and gain control of your IT estate so you can reduce software waste. When customers utilize Cloud Forward with Flexera One, many also invest in Flexera One SaaS Management, which provides industry-leading visibility and optimization insights based on a decade of foundational experience and takes savings to the next level.
Shrink your risk and gain deeper control over your environment
Flexera One can help you reduce unseen risk hiding in your estate—from the potential security vulnerabilities in unknown or unauthorized shadow SaaS applications to obsolescence and vulnerability risks. Flexera One gives you access to solutions like Flexera One IT Visibility to gain control and reduce or eliminate those risks. By protecting your organization with reliable security intelligence and robust, contextual risk data, you can prioritize what to address first for a more proactive approach.
Frequently asked questions
Modernization moves ITAM to a cloud-based platform (Flexera One) so you get continuous innovation without time-consuming and expensive updates, broader SaaS and cloud visibility—and stronger governance. A traditional software update keeps the same on-premises footprint and version-by-version maintenance. Instead, we improve speed to value, security posture and alignment with FinOps.
We typically onboard in phases—connect data sources, validate normalization, run in parallel, then cut over—so business reporting, audits and renewals continue without disruption.
Yes; dual entitlement allows a controlled transition. You can validate data quality and reporting in Flexera One while your on-premises environment continues to serve critical processes, then switch once stakeholders sign off.
Your license entitlements, contracts, software/SAAS usage and device inventories can be mapped and migrated to preserve continuity. Normalization rules and custom fields can be recreated, with governance to keep naming, tags and business services consistent post-migration.
Flexera One combines SAM and SaaS Management to uncover overlapping tools, idle licenses and shadow IT. With usage insights and rightsizing recommendations, you can cut waste, negotiate smarter renewals and align with FinOps guardrails.
Common integrations include ServiceNow/CMDB, endpoint and deployment tools, public clouds (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), identity providers via SAML/SSO and export to BI. Open APIs and out-of-the-box connectors accelerate setup and reduce custom maintenance.
Security includes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, SSO/SAML, audit logs and support for enterprise certifications (e.g., SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001). You also benefit from a hardened, continuously updated platform—no customer patching required.
Always-current entitlement, usage and installation data reduces surprises. Flexera One streamlines effective license position (ELP) analysis and gives you defensible evidence for audits, true-ups and renewals—across SaaS and on-premises software.
Yes. Standard dashboards cover common KPIs, while flexible exports and APIs let you rebuild or enhance custom reporting. Many teams consolidate one-off spreadsheets into governed, repeatable views shared with procurement, FinOps, and security teams.
Modernization typically lowers total cost of ownership by removing infrastructure/patching effort, reducing software waste and speeding audit preparation. Pricing is subscription-based; value is realized through license optimization, SaaS rationalization and faster time to insight.
Moving to Flexera One also means the end of software version updates, patching and infrastructure maintenance. You’ll always be on the latest version of software, with automated updates ensuring that you receive Flexera’s latest innovations as they are released, including AI-powered capabilities that allow you to get more things done faster and with improved accuracy. Remember that technical debt that’s been following you around while maintaining your legacy on-premises solution? With Flexera One, technical debt—and the risks and expenses associated with it—are a thing of the past.
Once you’re ready to make the move, we’re here to support you. With standard service packages covering the provisioning, implementation, and onboarding of your new Flexera One solution, you’ll be able to get up and running in as little as four weeks. Plus, you'll stay in control with a dual-entitlement option that allows you to determine the right time to make your move to Flexera One. Have an extra complex on-premises environment? Our expert professional services teams and providers can prepare a custom implementation and onboarding program to meet your specific needs.
