SoftwareOne Secures Seventh Consecutive Leader Placement in Gartner SAM Managed Services Magic Quadrant

SoftwareOne (SIX: SWON) has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SAM Managed Services for the seventh consecutive year, a distinction the company says reflects its consistent delivery of measurable value from cloud, software, and AI investments as licensing models continue to shift. The recognition matters because software asset management (SAM) has become a critical discipline for organizations seeking visibility and control over sprawling on-premises, cloud, and SaaS estates. SoftwareOne helps customers simplify these portfolios, improve financial control, and manage licensing and audit risks, freeing resources for business priorities and innovation.

“Seven consecutive years as a Leader matters to us because we believe that consistency is what our customers actually buy,” said Raphael Erb, CEO of SoftwareOne. “The technology landscape continues to grow more complex as organizations navigate an ever-expanding mix of software licensing, cloud consumption, and AI-driven business models. Our customers need a partner whose judgement holds up through all of it. We see this recognition as validation of the expertise, commitment, and customer focus that our teams bring to every engagement, every day.”

The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. SoftwareOne’s sustained placement in the Leaders quadrant signals that its SAM managed services are not only executing well against current market demands but are also positioned to address future challenges.
