Gartner names Astute a Cool Vendor in ITAM for 2018

On the 25th of September 2018 Gartner published its first Cool Vendor in ITAM report in over 6 years.

Astutes was selected due to its innovation and ability to solve the long standing problems that arise when trying to maintain compliance with software agreements, as well as improving financial transparency for software through future spend and risk forecasts.

Astute CEO Chris Morgan stated:

"This is a great achievement for Astute and its wonderful to be recognized by Gartner. To be highlighted as a Cool Vendor shows just how innovative and effective our approach is to solving the biggest problem companies face with staying compliant when managing software agreements.

For too long the status quo has been to accept that license compliance is cyclical and seen as a problem that will always return. Our approach helps companies get it right from the start, which should always be the goal.

Bringing a new proactive approach to a problem that has an entire industry filled with reactive approaches was always going to be tough, this cool vendor status proves we are on the right track and we are delighted to be highlighted in this way"
