IT & Software Asset Management Services
With careful Software Asset Management, you can avoid excessive spending, ensure compliance and have peace of mind - we have a range of IT and Software Asset Management services available to help you achieve this.
Software Audit – Verification and Compliance Services
The objective of our Audit Service is to ensure that all licence evidence has been inspected and correctly recorded in a comprehensive inventory, and that the aggregated licence entitlement corresponds to the organisation’s software usage commitments.
Clearly understanding what entitlement you have and what software has been installed, and then being able to continually track that equation, is the ‘first critical hurdle’ to any successful Software Asset Management programme. In addition, it enables many organisations to fully understand the associate risks of managing their software and allows them to implement an effective stop-gap process that helps save money and reduce the risk of illegal usage.
Software Asset Management Services
SAM Process Definition Service (incorporating Licence Dashboard™)
The basis of any good Software Asset Management programme is to keep accurate and up-to-date software licence information, together with processes for controlling and maintaining its accuracy.
Having a comprehensive database to store this information is essential. Not only does this allow you to archive effectively but it also allows you to publish this information when required and clearly balance the equation between what you have installed and what you are allowed to install.
The License Dashboard™ family is a powerful range of products which put you in control of your software assets. Designed with finance and procurement reporting requirements in mind, the products give you the power to manage the entire lifecycle of your organisation’s software assets.
In addition, Licence Dashboard has experienced consultants who can analyse, document and implement the policies and procedures required to manage an effective Software Asset Management programme.
SAM Managed Service
With any Software Asset Management programme, it is essential that the SAM tools are regularly maintained and that adequate resource is allocated to managing the associated processes. If this is not applied, then the organisation could be subjecting itself to significant risk and the initial investments made to establish the compliance baseline could be rendered ineffective and inaccurate.
To prevent this from occurring and to continue improving the quality of the SAM processes, we provide a comprehensive support programme that effectively protects, controls and maintains an organisation’s software assets. Outsourcing your IT and Software Asset Management programme is one of the most reliable and cost effective ways of fast-tracking these objectives.
