Software providers worldwide face the challenge of maintaining high revenue growth.
It is inevitable that all companies will face a software audit at some point. Unfortunately, most companies do not consider Software Asset Management (SAM) as a primary investment area, even after undergoing an audit. Furthermore, it is almost impossible for companies to keep up to date with the latest Terms, Programs and Usage Scenarios of all products from different suppliers to verify that their company complies with the requirements. Virtual infrastructures (VDI) and other virtualization technologies, where provider rules are ambiguous or intricate, further complicate compliance management.
It is impossible for medium-sized companies to have specialized licensing personnel for all the software providers they work with, as they change their terms every year if not every 6 months.
Our specialist licensing consultants are trained in Software Asset Management (SAM) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) and conduct pre-audit reviews of your business using industry standard tools such as Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP), SNOW, Flexera, System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), LANDesk, Altiris and many other commercially available tools to have multiple perspectives on inventoried software. Our audit mimics the supplier’s SAM process to show you how manufacturers would interpret the findings.
