ManageSoft provides Level 3 Compliance consulting services that take into account product usage rights (PUR), along with purchase versus installed information that has been automatically collected by Enterprise Compliance Manager® (ECM). The outcome of the service is a ‘Vendor License Position’ report showing the current license position, potential cost savings, and practical recommendations for efficiency gains that can be realized. ManageSoft is the only SAM tool vendor that provides this level of software license management capability. Focusing on the most critical applications from your key vendors, such as Microsoft, Adobe, and Oracle allows your organization to achieve the fastest return on your SAM investment.
By taking full advantage of product usage rights, organizations can reap the greatest rewards in terms of IT cost savings. Often times, usage rights are not well understood or tracked, resulting in over-purchasing of software licenses. For example, rights of second use/portable use are frequently not taken into consideration, so organizations buy licenses for every computer, even though the existing license allows use of the application on more than one machine per user.
See IT Spend Management for more information on cost savings achievable with an optimized SAM solution.
