Designed to address the needs of complex Cloud environments where software is delivered on-prem, in virtualised environments, and through the cloud.
Businesses struggle to meet the needs of vendors and statutory institutions when it comes to the compliance of their software estate. With a 68% chance of receiving a software audit request in the next 12 months, organisations need to prepare for the inevitable or could face significant time and money loss. Increased auditing generates huge amounts of cost including management overtime, legal costs, un-budgeted software costs and significant penalties.
Unfortunately, we have seen businesses respond to this threat by over compensating on the licenses they purchase. In the UK alone it is estimated that £6 Billion of software is sitting unused on servers, desktops and in the cloud.
