Cost Optimisation of your Software License Estate

Achieve cost and risk reduction, and avoid unbudgeted spend in your enterprise software license estate.

Cost optimisation in license management is a range of specialist activities within an overall software asset management methodology used to quantify, enhance, and control your enterprise software assets and spend. This will help you to achieve the best possible value from your IT spend and limit the risk and cost of license non-compliance.

For global enterprises with multiple software vendors, numerous technology platforms and an array of partners and suppliers, cost optimisation is a significant, ongoing, challenge. So, how do you maximise the use of what you have, whilst minimising the associated spend and risk?
