Flexera Software has announced its further commitment to its rapidly growing European business with a new EU-based data center for FlexNet Manager Suite Cloud, Flexera Software’s market-leading Software license Optimisation solution. The new data center for EU-based customers is compliant with EU Directive 95/46/EC - The Data Protection Directive, and is EU/US Safe Harbor-certified, ensuring that Europe-based customers will have full confidence in the security and safety of their data as called for by EU regulations.

“The European Union represents an enormous and rapidly growing market to Flexera Software and we are increasing our strategic investments in this market to widen our lead here in the Software License Optimisation space. We understand that our EU-based customers demand that their cloud providers ensure compliance with EU laws and regulations,” said Richard Northing, senior vice president of products and services at Flexera Software. “FlexNet Manager Suite is the gold-standard in Software License Optimisation and our commitment to excellence includes offering world-class data privacy and security.”

The primary instance of Flexera Software’s European data center resides in Frankfurt, Germany. A disaster recovery data center is located in Dublin Ireland.

Localised in English and German languages, FlexNet Manager Suite Cloud is the only full-function, software-as-a-service (SaaS) Software License Optimisation solution in the world. It is used by thousands of organisations to gain control of software licensing, reduce risk, and optimise spend across the enterprise.

Products in the Suite include FlexNet Manager Platform, and purpose-built products for optimisation of Adobe, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Symantec, and over 20,000 engineering and concurrent-licensed applications. Together, they allow organisations to efficiently maximise application utilisation, ensure continuous compliance with software license agreements, optimise software spend, manage concurrent license servers, and reduce denials of service. FlexNet Manager Suite is also tightly integrated with App Portal, the market-leading enterprise app store, enabling organisations’ consumerisation of IT strategies via an employee self-service portal that helps ensure accountability and control over software license compliance.
