Aspera was the only company positioned as a Visionary, based on our ability to execute and completeness of vision.


Boston, Massachusetts, April 19, 2018 - Aspera, a leading provider of Software Asset Management (SAM) solutions, is among six companies in the first-ever Gartner 2018 Magic Quadrant for Software Asset Management Tools.

We believe we were positioned as a Visionary by creating industry-defining innovations, listening to our customers, and offering a flexible, customizable product.
