What is "softwareone"

SoftwareONE is a privately owned, global organization that provides consultative services on technology trends, software licensing and procurement, and compliance mitigation strategies for software publisher audits. The complete combination of these services forms the company’s Software Portfolio Management (SPM) methodology, which ensures the entire lifecycle of an organization’s IT investments are strategically roadmapped by reconciling existing legacy systems against future technology needs.

SoftwareONE has 65 subsidiaries that serve customers in 145 countries, with its global headquarters in Stans, Switzerland. SoftwareONE’s consultants are certified across several publishers, most notably Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, SAP, VMware, Symantec, Adobe, and Citrix.

KKR, the private equity firm, purchased a 25% stake in SoftwareONE in August 2015.
