-

The companies software profitability decreases in relation to the increase in software investment. This is primarily attributed to the fact that more than 90% of those companies have a messy on software deployment and licensing. 

How is it possible? The lack of resources and the high complexity of licensing requires that 7 out of 9 IT Managers have to speculate about their if own deployment and software licensing are properly optimized and thus, give up the savings opportunities that an optimization can generate. Many do not realize that the company owns unused software, that buy software in excess, and  incur in a high cost trying to control and ineffectively manage the software. Likewise, they do not perceive that  the company is exposed to a software audit that commits them to unbudgeted bills.

Deployment Optimization Opportunities

The software deployment optimization are plenty of savings opportunities, from the elimination of applications that were installed as proof to the reduction of major editions to editions that satisfy the needs of the company. Another opportunity is the re-deployment of the software to align with the new needs of the company. These are certain examples of unused software and savings opportunities.

Licensing Optimization Opportunities

Licensing is complex and provides many savings opportunities as long as the commitments and licensing rights are well understood. One of these commitments is the annual purchases (True Up) that must be carefully examined to verify the real needs and not just rely on a discovery tool. Effectively evaluate the licensing options to choose the option that gives the greatest benefit to the company. Have intelligent information to negotiate rigorously each purchase and each renewal with the manufacturers.

Savings in Licensing Control and Management

Optimization opportunities can only be achieved with effective control and management of software licensing. Many companies have tried to control and manage their licensing and have found that it is very expensive, time consuming and ineffective. From the cost in a discovery tool to the time it takes to solve the challenges of running the tool. Another cost they have found is the extensive time spent reading licensing literature, preparing reports, evaluating offers, etc. They have also found little effectiveness in their processes given the lack of experience in the management and control of licensing.
