AsperaSmartTrack is the world’s most comprehensive engine for web-based licence management for enterprise scale organisations.

Its unique combination of optimised SAM processes with embedded workflow, state-of-the-art web technology, scalability and ability to manage complex licence models on a large scale makes it stand out from the competition.

Each year millions of pounds are spent on software licences. Despite the intangible nature of software assets, they still need to be actively recorded and managed correctly. In most organisations software and the overarching agreements are not managed centrally or in a
co-ordinated fashion which lends itself to difficulties at times of audit or renegotiation. A central licence repository backed by a comprehensive engine is therefore required to make key judgements such as :

• Purchasing software updates instead of expensive full versions
• Re-harvesting unused software and reallocating to licence pools
• Purchasing only the number of licences required and thereby avoid the costs of over-licensing
• Optimising the use and value of existing entitlement
• Giving control to the procurement team via management reports directly underpinning renegotiation events
• Optimising volume licence, maintenance and support agreements in line with usage.

Aspera SmartTrack removes the pain of complex licence management

• Extensive licence pooling and full chargeback and allocation functions
• Derive entitlement from vendor part numbers automatically using the extensive vendor SKU library
• Map the licence and contract models of all manufacturers and derive your optimised net entitlement position
• Don’t worry about software recognition by subscribing to the Aspera service as part of the Inventory Connect Module.
• Involve software suppliers in the licence management process to minimise your administration overheads
• Link with your existing software discovery sources of consumption data whether install, user or usage based
• Integrate existing ERP / procurement solutions via a Web Service
• Manage licences, updates, certificates, maintenance and contracts worldwide in one place
• Configure processes according to your specific requirements
• Maximise your investment thanks to its unlimited scalability.
