Free Online Summit: Software Vendor Insights 2024

Several key software vendors closed their financial years towards the end of 2023 including:

• Amazon AWS
• Google Cloud
• IBM
• SAP
• VMware (now Broadcom)

Join the ITAM Review on Thursday 7th March 2024 at 2pm GMT as we discuss how these organisations weathered the ups and downs of 2023 and what to expect from them in 2024 – including audits, product focus areas, licensing changes and more.

For ITAM professionals, knowing where these software publishers are coming from, and where they are going, will help you – and other internal stakeholders such as procurement and finance – best understand where potential risks may lie and successfully manage the relationship for another year.

2023 saw a lot of volatility across the industry and 2024 is where much of the impact will start to be felt by customer organisations – join us to get the information to help you dodge (some of) the fallout!

As well as industry analysis and forecasts from the ITAM Review, this Online Summit will also feature relevant sessions from our partners, detailing some of the key challenges you can face when using software and services from these publishers– and how to manage them too!
