Appstrato founders Steven Davison and Ian Dunn firmly believe that there are easier ways for companies to manage the cost and licensing associated with software. Digital transformation has enabled many software resellers to look inwards at their own reporting capabilities.
Both founders have previously experienced success with their own respective software management businesses. Building and eventually selling their companies to well known global companies (McAfee Corp, Ivanti Corp & SoftwareONE AG Holding Grp).
However despite the joint success both Ian and Steven felt that the software management industry needed a fresh perspective. Cloud computing and SaaS software added complexity and a shift in accountability from publisher to end user. There needed to be a bigger focus from IT resellers and the recording of licence data at point of entry i.e. purchase of software.
So…. where does Appstrato fit in to the market now? Ian and Steven decided to take a previously built SAM platform that they had used to deliver over 450 software audits globally between 2011 – 2019 and work closely with the IT reseller community. So far the results have been nothing short of amazing….
