Flexera One IT Asset Management (ITAM) – October 2026 release – Now Available
We are pleased to announce that the October 2026 release of Flexera One ITAM is now available customers. North American customers will receive access during next week. This release focuses on keeping integrations current and reliable, reducing manual effort in data onboarding, and improving device visibility – with enhancements shaped by customer feedback.
Nutanix Prism/AHV Integration Upgraded to v4.2 APIs
The IT Asset Management integration with Nutanix Prism/AHV now supports Nutanix v4.2 APIs for virtualization inventory collection, helping ensure continued compatibility with supported Nutanix platforms as Nutanix transitions away from v3 APIs.
To maximize compatibility across Nutanix environments, the integration first attempts a v4.2 API probe call. If the probe is successful, inventory is collected using the v4.2 APIs. If the Nutanix environment explicitly does not support v4.2 APIs, the integration automatically falls back to the v3 APIs.
Key highlights:
• Helps avoid inventory collection failures as v3 APIs are retired, and maintains compatibility with newer Nutanix releases
• Provides a modern, unified API framework with enhanced security, advanced querying and batch processing, and access to new
Nutanix platform features
• All collected data continues to be normalized into the existing IT Asset Management inventory model, so there are no changes to compliance, reporting, or optimization workflows
This enhancement protects continuity of virtualization inventory and supports reliable compliance and optimization processes for customers running Nutanix.
REST API Support in Business Adapter Studio
Business Adapter Studio (BAS) now supports native REST API integrations, enabling IT Asset Management administrators to integrate directly with cloud services, SaaS applications, and third-party systems without relying on custom scripts or file-based imports.
Key highlights:
• Connect directly through REST APIs, with a guided configuration experience for connection setup, data preview, and field mapping
• Import large datasets efficiently with built-in support for common pagination methods
• Map REST API data directly to ITAM records such as contracts, licenses, and purchase orders
• Protect sensitive credentials with secure storage, encryption, and masking of API keys, tokens, and client secrets
• Two new preconfigured Coupa templates – CoupaContract.xml and CoupaPurchaseOrder.xml – provide predefined mappings between Coupa REST API responses and ITAM contract and purchase order records
By removing reliance on external tools and staging processes, this enhancement accelerates integration projects and reduces implementation and maintenance effort.
Simplified AI Purchase Order Ingestion
Users can now start the AI purchase creation workflow directly from the All Purchases page and easily track uploaded documents with direct access to unprocessed purchases.
Key changes:
• The Create A Purchase button on the All Purchases page is now a dropdown with two options: Manual Purchase Creation, which opens the General tab of the Purchase Properties page, and AI Purchase Creation, which takes you straight to the Data Imports page with Document (AI Recognition) pre-selected
• A new View all unprocessed purchases link on the AI creation page opens the Unprocessed Purchases page, so users can check the status of previously uploaded documents in seconds
This delivers faster workflows, greater transparency, and improved auditability, with complete visibility into unprocessed purchase orders throughout the ingestion process.
Note: the AI Purchase Order Ingestion capability requires the Allow AI assisted purchase order upload setting to be enabled under Turn on AI capabilities within IT Asset Management in your organization’s settings.
Full DNS Host Name Support in Device Views and Reports
IT Asset Management now supports DNS Host name as a separate device property throughout the user interface and Report Builder. Previously, device listings relied on the Computer name field, which displays the NetBIOS name and is limited to 15 characters, so longer device names were truncated. The full DNS host name reported by the Flexera Agent is now captured and displayed separately, while existing NetBIOS-based workflows and integrations are preserved.
DNS Host name is available as an optional column or property in:
• Device views and grids – open any inventory grid, select Column Chooser, and add the DNS Host name column
• Device properties – shown in the General properties section of a device record
• Report Builder – available as a report column or filter for custom reports under Inventory Device and Remote Device
This enhancement provides complete device identification across your IT estate and makes it easier to find and report on devices with long host names.
