*Gartner names SoftwareONE a Leader in 2020 "Magic Quadrant" Report for SAM
Managed Services*
*Stans, Switzerland, 11 August 2020 - SoftwareONE Holding AG, a leading
global provider of end-to-end software and cloud technology solutions, today
announced it has been named a Leader in the 2020 Gartner "Magic Quadrant"
report for Software Asset Management (SAM) Managed Services. SoftwareONE was
recognized for its best-in-class managed services, with its leading global
scale, local presence and extensive customer base being highlighted as key
competitive strengths.*
"With increasing cloud adoption, organizations require a holistic approach
to the enablement, optimization and control of their digital investments
across the entire software lifecycle. SoftwareONE's managed services team is
humbled by this honor, as we strive to deliver the solutions our current and
prospective customers require from their digital investments, " said Darryl
Sackett, Global Director, Software Lifecycle Management (SLM).
The 2020 Gartner "Magic Quadrant" report evaluates several leading managed
services providers and places them into one of four quadrants: Challengers,
Niche Players, Visionaries and Leaders. By applying a graphical treatment
and a uniform set of evaluation criteria, the "Magic Quadrant" provides a
view on how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and
performing against Gartner's market view. SoftwareONE was named a Leader
based on its global scale of operations and extensive local presence,
particularly amongst small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
SoftwareONE is the global market leader in SAM and SLM, based on having the
highest total SAM managed service revenue and client volume as recognized by
Gartner. To enable its market-leading practice, SoftwareONE has over 700
dedicated professionals, completing approximately 4,000 engagements per year
across sectors and customer sizes on a global basis. The recent acquisition
of B-lay, a leading Dutch provider of advisory and managed services for SAP
and Oracles solutions, further strengthened SoftwareONE's position.
Leveraging 30 years of expertise, SoftwareONE today remains focused on
addressing its customers' most pressing challenges in the "new normal" of
business, including driving digital transformation, lowering costs and
keeping their software estate protected. Furthermore, as an end-to-end
provider, SoftwareONE also helps customers define their technology roadmap,
migrating and running them in the cloud. For more information on

As a further testament to its status as a trusted provider, SoftwareONE was
also recently recognized with ISO 27001 certification for its SLMAdvanced
and SAMSimple solutions, confirming that its information protection
procedures fully meet the highest international standards and industry best
practices.
"SoftwareONE's DNA is to go above and beyond for our customers. Being named
a leader by Gartner further solidifies our market position and ability to
provide businesses with the technology solutions they need to both reset and
thrive in today's rapidly-changing digital world," said Dieter Schlosser CEO
SoftwareONE.
