License Optimization Services

Maximize the value of software investments and reduce software costs today and tomorrow

“Organizations can cut software spending by as much as 30 percent by implementing license optimization best practices” – Gartner

Software costs are increasing year over year. Maintaining or even reducing your annual software spend requires a continuous understanding of your vendor footprint, software deployed, licenses installed and features in use. The problem today is that organizations are not sufficiently equipped to pro-actively managing nor have the resources and infrastructure to continuously monitor the changing nature of the software estate. SLO extends beyond traditional SAM to incorporate strategies to fully leverage existing license entitlements, minimize license consumption, streamline the IT infrastructure and reduce ongoing costs. SLO also enables organizations to make informed decisions on their future IT investments.
