Licence Compliance

"FIT FOR" License Compliance

License compliance management is more than just being in control of what software you own and how much of the software that is installed and used. Successful software license management requires the ability to identify software inventory, measures use activity, and automatically links complex license entitlements, enabling IT to align software spending with business priorities.

Software costs now account for 20% of an enterprise's computer budget on average and the percentage is increasing. With the development of new functionality, web services, new virtualization capabilities along with the need to maintain a license revenue stream, your software vendors continue to evolve their software licensing rules. In this context, it is important for each enterprise to implement its own efficient software management policy.

By using the combined BDNA-PS’Soft products, organizations can easily deploy a solution for different issues: software identification, license compliance and software request management.

To help your organization avoid non-compliance fines and penalties, PS’Soft License Compliance includes a License Compliance Dashboard that lets you quickly see any potential trouble areas. The Dashboard view presents a list of all your deployed software, red flagging any software that is non-compliant, and yellow flagging those that border non-compliance. It allows you to sort the dashboard view by software publisher to facilitate software licences negotiations, making it easier to negotiate terms based on actual infrastructure usage. A drill-down on any dashboard item will identify its associated background business details, including complete contract terms and conditions, purchase orders and invoices.

By using BDNA Insight, an agent-less solution, organisations can have complete and accurate information to effectively manage their software environment.
