More than a Vision: Delivering Trusted Results

USU is proud to be recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Software Asset Management Solutions, Q1 2025.  

We believe our ranking shows customers can benefit from a powerful software asset management (SAM) solution that has evolved from a pureplay SAM tool into an ITAM (IT Asset Management) solution offering visibility and optimization across HAM (Hardware Asset Management), SAM, and SaaS.

To achieve this, we made AI an integral part to innovation, improving both user-facing functions like SAM chatbots and knowledge tools, and backend operations like EULA (End-user license agreement) and SaaS license recognition.

All ties into our superior vision: To enable the hybrid enterprise IT-management with a strong ITAM/SAM that aims to enhance the larger structure of ITSM and ESM.
