SoftwareOne and Crayon's Continued Leadership in SAM

SoftwareOne and Crayon, two leading companies in software and cloud solutions, have recently been acknowledged as "Leaders" in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Asset Management (SAM) Managed Services. This recognition marks the sixth consecutive year that both organizations have earned this distinguished title, reinforcing their commitment to providing significant value and innovation to clients worldwide.

The indication of being named leaders stems from their strategic alignment and operational enhancements following a merger in July this year, which united nearly 13,000 professionals across approximately 70 countries. This consolidation has notably strengthened their global service capabilities, allowing them to better cater to their customer’s needs.

Melissa Mulholland, Co-CEO of SoftwareOne, explained, “Our recognition as a leader reflects our commitment to optimizing customer software investments and achieving measurable business outcomes since our inception. We have established a new standard in SAM that is scalable globally yet remains relevant to local markets.”

Raphael Erb, Co-CEO of SoftwareOne, further emphasized the importance of this recognition: “This acknowledgment validates both companies' commitment to providing future-oriented SAM services. By offering comprehensive IT portfolio management solutions, we empower our customers to confidently establish governance, drive innovation, and achieve growth. Our approach is unparalleled in the market and serves as a foundation for our clients’ success.”

As the world's largest IT asset management consulting firms, SoftwareOne and Crayon assist clients in optimizing and streamlining their existing on-premise IT, cloud, and SaaS assets. By facilitating efficiency and cost reduction, these firms enable clients to innovate without necessitating additional budgets, thus creating a competitive edge in the market.

Together, SoftwareOne and Crayon provide comprehensive IT portfolio management and global service delivery that results in substantial cost reductions and improved return on investment (ROI). Additionally, their integrated AI automation technology aids compliance efforts and proactive license management, enhancing financial oversight and leading to smarter decision-making across the client environment.

In this Magic Quadrant report, Anglepoint has also been recognized as a leader alongside SoftwareOne and Crayon. Anglepoint is an independent entity in which SoftwareOne holds a majority stake.
