Licence Reconciliation Delivers Major Savings

With thousands of users and devices spread across multiple locations, central control of all the software on any network can be an illusion. That is why most organizations have both over and under licensed software.

Why Software Reconciliation Is Important

It is essential for organizations to reconcile software in use with software licenses paid, because:

• Underused and over licensed software represents a substantial, but unnecessary cost
• Some degree of licensing slide is inevitable, but costly in the event of a vendor audit.

Why do so many organizations overspend on licenses?

Because network inventory tools overlook as much as 20% of any IT network, IT Departments may be blind to:

• Software that is installed, but is not being used
• Hardware that is retired, but for which software licenses still remain
• Daily activities that give rise to unanticipated license costs, e.g:
  • Software is downloaded, such as; Oracle on a trial basis
  • New users are added to an application
  • Applications are ported to new machines with different processors
