We understand the value of the software in use by your organization.
We know complying with software license agreement is complex.
The penalties for failing to comply are expensive.
The traditional approach to this is Reactive, finding issues after they happen.
Reactive approaches never tackle the root cause, this allows new risks to occur.
With the growth of SaaS, cloud, and IoT, it's clear being reactive is no longer enough.
Our approach to license management is Proactive.
Using License Demand Management, we managing your software vendors,
providing assurance for your software agreements.
Working with you, we break your organization free of the audit cycle,
increase value, and decrease new software spend.
How license risks occur
The cycle above shows the issue clearly. Reactive SAM tools can only identify the risks after they have happened, meaning mitigation is the only choice. This allows new risks to be continually created.
This failure to address the root cause of licensing risks is the main reason SAM teams fail long-term.
Introducing AstuteLDM
Stop the risk of license non-compliance before it enters your business.
Predict, optimise and influence spend on software before purchase to reduce spend.
Stopping risk permanently and consolidating future demand
Our technology, AstuteLDM, and server partner providers work with your organization to ensure the root cause of risk is tackled, ending risk permanently.
How AstuteLDM works
We make it simple for your business projects to request the new software they need for servers, datacenter, cloud and SaaS.
Our predictive technology consolidates requirements from across your projects, business units and regions to create powerful demand forecasts to lower future spend.
Your business runs on software. The expensive audits and settlements your business has faced in the past are a direct result of software being implemented without the right governance.
The projects in your business today need software, without the right governance, they will repeat the same mistakes and create next years audit risks. We stop this.
We validate the requirements of the request, through the entire lifecycle of the project, from concept, purchase, implementation, and closure.
Through this governance, we stop unbudgeted IT spend, audits and settlements. We ensure existing assets are maximized and when you need to buy, you will do so for the lowest cost possible.
