Have you ever taken a moment to consider how many types of software are run at your company over a single day? Management of all these licenses requires a great deal of attention. Software is an important cost item for every company. Are you in control of these costs? The goal is to use the available budget efficiently for active and legal software.

Software Asset ManagementLatent issues
Present software portfolio
It is important to have an overview of all the software used on site. Every employee has their own device on which they can install software as they see fit. Are these activities being done in compliance with company policy, or is there any shadow IT going on?
Reassessing licenses
Does a major software contract need to be renewed soon? Or have you been informed that an audit is in the works? Make sure you are completely prepared. A fine can be expensive in terms of money and damage to the reputation of your company.

Am I paying too much or too little?
If you have superfluous software licenses in your portfolio, you are paying something for nothing. Renewing the right maintenance contracts makes a major difference. On the other hand, upgrading a software package can increase productivity. You are also paying too little if illegal software is present.
Effective use of the software
Requested licenses are not always used. If a dormant icon is evident on an individual's desktop, cost efficiency may not be optimal.
