Whether a renewal, true-up, or audit is next, you need confidence in what you own, what you need, and what you can defend. If the answer still means rebuilding your Flexera position in a spreadsheet, we can help.
MetrixData 360 partners with SAM tool providers, including Flexera. We are independent of the software publishers whose licenses and commercial terms we help you assess and negotiate. We can run the platform, support your team, or use its data to establish your position and identify opportunities to reduce costs.
For IT, Software Asset Management, Procurement and Finance teams responsible for turning Flexera data into purchasing and licensing decisions.
SAM Tool Enablement · Data Remediation Pack · Optimized ELP
Common gaps include agreements and amendments not reflected in the tool, incomplete discovery coverage, and no single owner of the licensing position. We reconcile the evidence and address the gaps within the agreed scope.
EA Renewal Negotiation Support · Audit Defense
A publisher has put a number on the table. We test its assumptions against actual use, contract rights and your business roadmap, then model the viable options.
For a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA) renewal or true-up, you receive cost scenarios, a negotiation plan and advice as proposals change. For an audit, you receive a documented position and support preparing and defending the response.
SAM Compass gives the ongoing data, licensing and optimization work an owner as users, deployments, and agreements change.
For IBM, ILMT as a Service provides managed IBM License Metric Tool operations and quarterly compliance reviews alongside Flexera. You have a maintained position and preparation for upcoming publisher events.
We organize the work around the publisher’s calendar and your next decision.
One question guides the analysis: will the number survive contact with the publisher who disputes it? We then investigate whether a different licensing choice would give you a better outcome.
The MetrixData D360 Method connects that investigation to four outcomes:
Establish what is deployed and used, and test coverage against sources outside Flexera so missing assets do not disappear from the analysis.
Reconcile purchases with signed agreements and amendments. Check license quantities, product rights and consumption settings; document any adjustments needed to explain the position.
Compare the licensing options that fit your users, security requirements and business plans. Show the cost, dependencies and negotiating room for each.
For example, before recommending a cheaper license for someone with little recorded usage, we check their role, security needs, planned rollouts and contractual options.
Separate opportunities identified, changes you can act on now, costs avoided and savings achieved. Track what each recommendation depends on.
Procurement holds the agreements. IT knows the environment. Finance sees the spend. When those views do not line up, that is not a failure of your team. We bring them together around the decision.
Our recommendations start with your requirements, contract rights and business plans. We also support Snow and ServiceNow SAM Pro, applying the same licensing method across platforms.
MetrixData 360 can operate Flexera, support your administrators, or work from its data. We agree on access, responsibility for changes, and any implementation-partner handoffs before work begins.
A focused starting scope can cover one publisher and one decision: review the available inventory, usage and agreements; establish the gaps; and build the position and options. We reconcile deliverables, timing, and fees around that scope and your deadline.

An Effective License Position (ELP) shows what you own, what is consumed, and the evidence behind the difference. A Tier-1 Vendor Module adds analysis of Oracle, IBM or SAP licensing rules and contract terms.
Common gaps include agreements and amendments not reflected in the tool, incomplete discovery coverage, and no single owner of the licensing position. We reconcile the evidence and address the gaps within the agreed scope.
In Flexera One IT Asset Management, supported licenses can inherit consumption rules from a linked contract when that setting is enabled. For licenses imported from Flexera One SaaS Management, linked contracts are informational and do not change nightly consumption calculations. We check the license type, data source and settings, then account for applicable contract terms the calculated position does not capture.

No. The licensing work applies across SAM platforms. We also support Snow and ServiceNow SAM Pro, applying the same licensing method across platforms.
A focused starting scope can cover one publisher and one decision: review the available inventory, usage and agreements, establish the gaps, and build the position and options.
We agree deliverables, timing and fees around that scope and your deadline. Bring the publisher, the deadline and the question your team cannot yet answer, and we will use the call to clarify the next step.
