Our take
Flexera is an IT solutions company for businesses looking to maximize the potential of their technology investments. Spun out of legacy company InstallShield dating back to 1987 and its leading software product Flexnet Manager, Flexera offers a range of solutions including IT asset management, IT visibility, and cloud migration.
It’s the latter that in the present day seems to be the most popular product from not only Flexera, but competitors too. Flexera was cited in the summer 2022 by Information Services Group as a global leader in hyperconverge infrastructure solutions (HCI) systems, that uses cloud computing as a basis for its build.
The company has been a shapeshifting entity on the market for decades now, with a flexible range of services that in 2023 include the Flexera One FinOps, a solution for the strengthening of cloud central teams. Flexera also saw a buyout by private equity firm Thoma Bravo to the sum of $2.9 billion in 2020. The large company boasts 50,000 customers worldwide and offices in Asia Pacific and Northern Europe, having acquired a healthy rostrum of IT companies over the years.
