Licensing IT systems correctly is a challenge
Achieve order in the licensing jungle
Devices and servers change, virtual machines are created or moved, employees leave the company or new ones join. Remote workstations are set up and whole parts of the IT business are outsourced to the cloud.
Keeping track is difficult. We are here to help.
What is that?
Complete clarity about IT infrastructure!
Companies often lack transparency within the IT licensing landscape. Conversely, this means that decisions are made based on missing information – often to the detriment of the company.
IT needs to drive digital transformation right now, creating and connecting new workspaces and opportunities while, at the same time, keeping costs down.
Measuring on-premise IT use is complex. In some cases, the licensing landscape seems confusing and, at the same time, software vendors are increasing the regularity of audits.
Software Asset Management (SAM) helps companies manage and optimize the use of software across the organization by employing a set of IT best practices that link people, processes, and technology. (Microsoft)
