Sakon and TRG Screen Announce Strategic Partnership

Sakon’s expertise in Device and Telecom Management joins with TRG Screen’s strengths in Enterprise Subscription Management


CONCORD, Mass. and NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sakon, a leading provider in Device and Telecom Management, and TRG Screen, the leading provider of Enterprise Subscription Management Solutions, today announced a strategic partnership that affirms each firm’s deep expertise and industry prominence. Together, the two companies are unlocking opportunities for customers to streamline their expense and vendor management needs.

While TRG Screen specializes in managing high-volume, high-value, and complex data subscriptions, Sakon specializes in Device and Telecom Management. Each company offers platforms and services that maximize the price to performance of their spend categories. The two companies already share mutual clients that will benefit from a powerful set of synergies.

“TRG Screen’s enterprise subscription management capabilities include market data services for the financial services industry and research and information subscriptions for the legal field and adjacent industries,” said Leigh Walters, President and COO at TRG Screen. “And many of those firms need expert help with Device and Telecom Management. Sakon, the best in the business, will complement our spend and usage management systems, helping us streamline highly complex subscriptions that cannot be effectively managed through standard approaches.”

The shift toward a changed post-pandemic economic landscape and more hybrid working prompted TRG Screen and Sakon to come together in the pursuit of highly optimized subscriptions. Indeed, enterprises are facing frequent changes to an increasingly complex communications environment and find themselves in need of a broader set of communications-related IT and cloud-based services, including full life-cycle management for end-user devices and managed mobility services integration.

“TRG Screen’s partnership with Sakon is the latest endorsement of our strategic platform approach as the future of enterprise communications,” said Andy Goorno, Sakon’s Chief Executive Officer. “TRG Screen has hundreds of customers that need more effective Device and Telecom Management. At the same time, we have customers that need help with the management of other complex subscriptions, such as Market Data, Research, SaaS, and other Information Service Subscriptions. This combined approach will generate powerful and uncommon synergies in the control and management of highly specialized and complex services and related spend for enterprise customers.”

As leaders in their respective fields, TRG Screen and Sakon have joined together to offer clients a unique strategic roadmap to optimize and manage the communications and costs associated with accelerating digital transformation. Unsurprisingly, many enterprises struggle to control their communications service spend, which Gartner in 2021 forecast to represent 36% of global end-user spending on IT products and services of just over $4 billion.
