Aspera and Magelan join forces in strategic partnership for increased demand in software licence management

Aachen/Munich, Germany, 12 May 2016 – Aspera, a pioneer in strategic SAM solutions and one of the world’s leading providers in this sector, and Magelan, a highly-specialised IT services and consulting company in IT asset and IT service management, have signed a partnership agreement in software licence management. Both companies anticipate that their collaboration will offer valuable potential. Magelan will extend its customer offering to include strategic licence management solutions, while Aspera will benefit from the business and consulting structures of the IT company.

Magelan has specialised in client and IT service management in medium to large-sized companies for 17 years. This includes IT asset management, which is the strategic management of hardware and software. “For a few years now, we’ve felt that IT departments have an increasing need for strategic solutions for software licence management that goes beyond conventional asset management. Aspera’s products close this gap in our portfolio and we are happy to provide optimal service to our clients in this area in the future,” said Daniel Sömen, CEO of Magelan GmbH.

Aspera’s solutions have pioneered the SAM sector for over 15 years. They give clients a reliable perspective of their licence position, assets and potential under- and over-licensing. “Magelan and Aspera adopt a similar approach,” added Peter Kohlauf, Senior Sales Manager of Partner Operations at Aspera. “Both companies help their clients to achieve the full potential of software asset management on the basis of best practices. We are delighted to extend our reach as part of this partnership and strengthen the licence situation of Magelan’s clients.”
