Elevate your enterprise information technologies and method at Transform 2021.
IT asset management platform Lansweeper has raised €130 million ($158 million) from venture capital and private equity firm Insight Partners.
Founded out of Belgium in 2004, Lansweeper delivers a platform that scans corporate networks to recognize all “assets,” such as servers, routers, workstations, printers, monitors, and installed application. This offers IT personnel and managers a “single source of truth” on all the hardware, application, and customers across the organization, offering visibility into blind spots to make sure application and licensing are up to date, for instance, and enhancing safety by surfacing all endpoints wherever they reside.
“You can’t manage, protect, optimize, or secure what you don’t know you have — first you need accurate visibility into your IT estate,” Lansweeper CEO Dave Goossens told VentureBeat.
It’s all about minimizing dangers by providing insights into a broad gamut of IT infrastructure via genuine-time inventorizing — Lansweeper detects assets the pretty second they connect to the organization network, with no requiring any application installation.
“Users get access to a complete and up-to-date overview of their IT estate, enabling them to spearhead all network-related tasks, projects, and decisions,” Goossens added. “With accurate data, users can answer questions on their IT that no one else can and be on top of their IT at all times.”
Lansweeper has garnered some notable enterprise customers, such as IBM, Allianz, Samsung, Nestlé, and Maersk. And back in 2018, it received a majority investment from private equity firm Dovesco. With its most up-to-date minority investment from Insight Partners, the organization is gearing up to launch a new cloud platform that integrates its IT asset discovery application with a “modern, cloud-based interface” to take items to the next level.
“With Lansweeper Cloud, we are building on our existing IT asset discovery capabilities and enabling the use of this data in support of more scenarios throughout an organization,” Goossens explained.
