Software Governance - Preventing Risk and Overspend
Effective Governance over the software lifecycle is key in addressing the challenge of maintaining software compliance and getting the best value for our software.
In this webex we cover the root cause of risk, why licensing problems and overspend happen and what can be done about it.
"This new innovative offering is a natural extension to SAM tools and App Portals. It does for Datacentre SAM what App stores and good SAM tools do for desktop.
...
Software Asset Managers can get ahead of the game and give REAL CASH back to the business in terms of reduced capital spend that was previously allocated against projects." Martin Thompson
We understand the value of the software in use by your organisation.
The terms and conditions for the licenses that come with the software in the contract are often complex and difficult to manage, which leads to big penalties for failing to comply. These problems can arise from:
Over Deployment
License
Restrictions
Incorrect
License Type
Architecture Designs
Uncontrolled
Changes
Poor User
Management
Which often bring unexpected cost at renewal time or worse are found in audit and cost the company millions.
Whilst SAM teams can help find these problems, its always after they have happened, leaving mitigation as the only option and the risk likely to reoccur, as the root cause of the issue is still at large.
The equal size issue to over usage and non-compliance is under usage and wasted spend, which arises from:
License underutilisation leading to wasted investment
Unrequired purchase
due to existing licenses
Incorrect or duplicate products purchased
Wasted contract value due to not using contract mechanics
