Software assets and licensing management

Risk reduction & software investment protection

Software licensing management is an important matter for organizations using and developing software. The lack of visibility on the installed software stack induces risk, just as partial or total reuse of code from one external application to another appears as a significant source of risk and litigation.

  •  Ensuring long term value to your investments in software applications lowers both direct and indirect costs of acquisition, maintenance, operations and exits from software solutions running inside your information system or that are expected to be integrated in the future.
  •  Reduce the risks induced by inhouse or outsourced software development projects and diminish the costs of subsequent developments, code refactoring and litigation. By reducing these risks organizations whose core business relies on software development can achieve a better management of software development. In other cases, such as M&A and strategic reorganizations, companies and other types of structure also need to better manage their information system by reducing these risks.
