Are you concerned about software licence agreement audits, true ups or renegotiations? Do you have the management information needed to minimise your spend?
In the current economic downturn, audits from software vendors have increased as they seek new licensing revenue streams. In larger companies it is now almost a daily event to deal with true-ups or renegotiation events which involve millions of pounds of spend.
Often triggered by an organisational change, be it outsourcing support, a merger or acquisition or requesting a Microsoft Claret Report. Hard data on your purchasing and use of software is vital in these circumstances; if ignored could escalate into a risk issue to the tune of millions of pounds.
Why Aspera SmartTrack is the right choice amongst many
From experience you will know that managing software assets at an enterprise level (often with complex IT infrastructures, limited capability tools and software vendor contract models) has become increasingly challenging. The modelling of contract rights, entitlements, usage and installation data is not simple, and few if any of the enterprise toolsets do it properly. Most enterprise tools have a low level engine for licence management, but you have to pay to get licensing models and reconciliation logic built in, and the skills to do it are not inexpensive; in many cases costing hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Aspera SmartTrack is a best of breed software licence management solution. It's licence-centric approach to managing software assets sets it apart from rival solutions. Specifically designed by people from the volume licensing industry who dealt with the largest and most complex global class organisations, the solution provides complex modelling and reconciliation structures out of the box, together with an ability to use any set of discovery/metering tools which overcomes the perennial problem with software recognition.
Do you really understand what software you have, how it’s used, what an audit might cost you and what the level of risk is? Your data in Aspera SmartTrack will give you the facility you need to address this.
