What you may not know is that recently (May 2006) the International Standards Organisation finally published a standard – ISO19770-1 on Software Asset Management.

This excellent document finally lays down exactly what organisations should be doing in order to reasonably comply with vendor licensing schemes and both the operational and commercial pressures associated with them. It covers everything from corporate governance to licence reconciliation and outsourcer complexities relating to software and licence management.

Founded upon excellent experience with our clients we have built intellectual property to assist organisations to rapidly assess their position against the literal requirements of the ISO19770-1 standard. We call it the ISO Gap Analysis.

On top of this we can help you leverage the standard to improve your real world licence position, reducing costs and risk for you. Our consultants understand global licence management challenges, software moves, adds and changes processes, proof of purchase and audit requirements. In matter of days we can have you on the right road.

The ISO19770-2 and 3 standards are also due soon, covering matters related to licensing data and software recognition. We can help you prepare for this, ensuring that the tools you choose line up with the new standards,

So, if you want help assessing your organisation against the ISO standard or advice on how to better comply with it then give us a call. We are pleased to help.
