Know Your Software License Status Anywhere, Anytime

No one enjoys keeping track of software and licensing. As a result, very few organisations do.

Maybe you know some who skate by tracking licenses in a handful of spreadsheets maintained by multiple employees. It can work...until an auditor comes knocking on their door. The latest Gartner statistics show 65 per cent of organisations were audited by a software vendor in the last year.
 
Without an effective software asset management service, your organisation could face the risks of:

• Paying too much in software licensing fees for unused software.
• Licenses expiring without anyone's knowledge.
• Audits that can reveal use of unlicensed software, resulting in steep fines from major software distributors like Microsoft.

Faulty reporting that doesn’t account for all assets, impeding critical decision-making during the licensing process and creating unnecessary software purchases as new staff members are added.

Datacom can minimise audit risks with software asset management services designed specifically for your organisation.
