Make license compliance a priority — and save

An organisation’s software is illegal if

  • software has been activated more than once, or installed on more computers than their licenses allow or
  • in the case of a network license manager, the network licence management software authorises more users than licenses have been purchased by the organisation.

      -  Keep track of your software licences               -  Control and protect your software assets

Benefits from Software Asset Management

Software asset management (SAM) doesn’t just reduce your risk of noncompliance—it also delivers numerous business benefits. Industry analysts estimate that savings from SAM can reach 30 percent in the first year and 5-10 percent annually in subsequent years.*

Benefits of SAM include:

Enhanced Productivity
  -  Ensure that employees have the software tools they need to be productive.  
  -  Reduce the strain on IT with automated SAM features.

Reduced Costs
  -  Stop overpaying for software or paying for software not in use.
  -  Limit overhead associated with managing and supporting software
  -  Reduce the potential for unexpected software costs
  -  Avoid paying damages for noncompliance

Improved Software Purchase Planning and License Management 
  -  Keep a running inventory record rather than a year-end tally. 
  -  Always know which software license is in use and its location. 
  -  Target upgrades to reduce hassle.
