Licensing IT systems correctly is a challenge
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 entire corporate IT departments are outsourced to the cloud.
Keeping an overview is difficult. We help you to bring order into the license chaos.
What is it anyway?
Software Asset Management
Software Asset Management (SAM) helps organizations control and optimize the use of software across the enterprise by leveraging a set of IT best practices that link people, processes and technology. (Microsoft)
Complete clarity about the IT infrastructure!
Companies often lack transparency within the IT licensing landscape. Conversely, this means that decisions are made based on a lack of information - often to the detriment of the company.
Right now, IT needs to drive digital transformation, create and connect new workspaces and opportunities, while keeping costs down.
Measuring on-premise IT usage is complex, the licensing landscape appears confusing in some cases, and at the same time software vendors are increasing the pace of audits.
