OPTIMIZED LICENSE POSITION

Expertise to tackle the challenges of baselining and optimizing your licensing position

Optimized License Position

From Effective to Optimized licensing

Evolving working models have led to growing challenges of establishing baselines of software assets. With many devices now residing outside the corporate firewall and software becoming increasingly cloud-based, tracking the usage and consumption of your organization’s IT assets is becoming increasingly complex. This includes tracking asset usage on laptops, mobile devices, and data accessed from cloud-based infrastructure.

An Effective License Position will tell you your level of exposure. An Optimized License Position will give you peace of mind that every penny spent is delivering value to the organization and that audit risks are well and truly addressed.

Using a four-stage methodology, SHI’s licensing experts establish your current licensing position for in-scope software publishers and deliver recommendations on how to optimize.

Which software publishers
can be optimized?

All of them. Optimization is an exercise that can be carried out against any software publisher, including SaaS vendors.

With their first annual true-up date fast approaching on a three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA), our customer, Panduit Corporation, approached SHI to ensure they were compliant with their Microsoft licensing. Within eight weeks from start to finish, SHI not only confirmed compliance, but also identified opportunities to save about $102,000 across their SQL and System Center environment.

This is what they had to say:

"In the complex and complicated world of Microsoft licensing requirements, it’s never an easy task to determine what’s needed to remain in compliance. The team at SHI provided expert advice and analysis of our license usage and saved us many hours of labor in trying to do it ourselves. Thanks SHI!"
