Increasing SAM demand in the French market

Aachen, Germany: 23rd April 2015 - In the context of yesterday's IT
Innovation Forum in Paris, Aspera presented SmartTrack, its solution for
strategic software license management to the more than 150 attending
guests, end-users and decision-makers, an expert plenary and the French IT
press. The nomination as innovation in IT reflects the growing interest of
French companies in software asset management and the expansion of Aspera
into the French market.

Like the previous events, the sixth edition of the series "IT Innovation
Forum" was characterized by its compact informative format. 31 nominated IT
solutions by start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses were divided into
six categories and presented to the visitors and an expert plenary in 90
seconds videos and short presentations. During the event, which is
sponsored by Axelle Lemaire, State Secretary of the French Ministry of
Economy, the companies could exchange on developments in IT and innovative
solutions for the challenges of digitalization such as Big Data, Cloud
Computing, Mobile, Performance, cost optimization and data security.

In the previous editions of the IT Innovation Forum, cumulatively over 100
innovative solutions were presented to an audience of over 750 CTOs, CIOs
and IT managers of large companies and public administrations.

Olaf Diehl, Managing Director of Aspera explains:
"Even if software asset management is new technological ground for many
French companies, there is an increasing interest and the realization that
waiting and working with manual solutions have no future. We increasingly
receive requests from France and have been working together with the first
French enterprises - successfully of course. For software audits, we are
also here the perfect partner with technology and service that provide the
solutions that will satisfy even the largest companies."

Aspera has opened another office in Paris last year following locations in
Aachen, Marburg and Boston (USA). After the product Smart Track has been
available in French for 2,5 years, francophone colleagues locally and at
the headquarters in Aachen provide service and support to French speaking
prospects and customers. The website www.Aspera.com also "speaks French" so
that interested parties can always inform themselves about Aspera and its
services.
