The price hike in software licences and cloud-based services is no longer just an issue for IT asset managers. The increases are so large that the problem has become a board-level issue, warned ITAM Review’s managing director, Rich Gibbons, at the launch of a report on the changing landscape in IT asset management (ITAM).
The ITAM insights 2023 report analysed key industry events that are expected to shape the IT landscape throughout the year. It highlighted double-digit software price rises, significant changes to software licensing contracts among Tier 1 software providers, and mergers and acquisitions that have a direct impact on software buyers.
