| Managing software licenses across
organizations of all sizes is increasingly complex. License
management is becoming a best practice IT asset management process
providing rapid ROI by eradicating over-purchases. Scalable Survey
provides powerful real-time capabilities for cost analysis,
“true” software usage analysis and proactive compliance
reporting. Uniquely, Survey distinguishes between software that
is merely installed and software that is truly in use. With
Survey data, customers are able to renegotiate license terms
based on actual usage, recover unused licenses and redeploy
them to avoid unnecessary new purchases, and recoup maintenance
and other costs associated with unused software.
Survey customers see year on year savings and in many cases
this can lead to reductions in the range of 10 - 40 percent
of total software budget in the first year alone. Understanding
what is installed and what is actually being used are key
tenets of license compliance and license management activities.
Using Survey, organizations of all sizes can realize the following
benefits:
-
Software license analysis enabling accurate forecasting and
provides the
foundation for license, support, maintenance negotiations
-
Easily allocate and manage software licenses across the organization,
ensure
license
compliance, monitor software usage, and harvest unused licenses
-
Proactive harvesting of unused software licenses reducing
the need to
purchase new licenses when license counts reach maximum thresholds
-
Enable CIOs to confidently negotiate license agreements, leveraging
compelling graphical usage analysis, license compliance analysis,
and
license utilization
