License Compliance
Software license compliance can be defined as being in control of what software you own and how much of the
software that is installed and used.
By continously being in control of all your software in your organization, license compliant, you help yourself
as an IT Manager and your organization with:
- Financial risk - Should a software audit by for example BSA happen there is a big risk for substancial econimical damage
- Risk for Badwill damage - It often becomes public information if you fail a software compliance audit. Are you willing to take this risk?
There are numerous benefits of a correctly implemented license compliance solution.
The benefits are both of administrative and economical nature:
- Control that you own only as many licenses as you really need
- Control of all your Support and Maintenance contracts and when to renew/cancel them
- Know exactly what software you have from different vendors. Great to know before negotiating volume discounts.
- E-mail notification of when software (license) compliance is broken
- What software that are up to date, and what needs upgrading
