entrio is an AI-driven IT asset management solution that helps enterprises in the financial industry manage and optimize their vendor stack, which on average can exceed ten thousand solutions and is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars per organization. The startup’s unique cloud-based platform, designed in partnership with large tier-1 enterprises, empowers IT Governance and IT Sourcing teams with the visibility, searchability and intelligence to manage their vendor stack ultimately providing customers with the data intelligence and automation they need to drive efficiency, visibility and reusability of their on-premise and cloud solutions, and actively helps to reduce costs.
In today’s bear market, large enterprises are seeking ways to cut expenses while remaining compliant and in control of their assets. This funding round will enable entrio to continue developing its technology and extend its reach to even more customers globally. With this funding and its growing tier-1 customer base, the startup is positioning itself among the top players in IT asset management. entrio also recently announced its integration of gpt-3, becoming the first one in the ITAM space to embed these capabilities. The company also plans to broaden its data coverage across additional tech assets to enable enterprises to gain a holistic view of their tech stacks.
