Software licensing solutions addressing risk, audits, and asset management
Enterprise software licensing management requires constant diligence to remain compliant. Reducing complexity and costs is key when selecting trusted asset management programs and providers. It's important to follow preferred practices around identifying favorable and appropriate contract terms, as well as mitigating compliance risk by noting exposure to potentially risky software vendor policies and practices. Keeping current on licensing changes, findings, and negotiation tactics helps in preparation for vendor audits and negotiations; being informed about licensee rights and obligations is also vital. Avoid negotiation compromises that can force the business into upgrades, artificial cloud migrations, or changes in terms that don't align with business strategy.
Software licensing services proactively identifying licensing exposure and helping mitigate compliance risk
Tracking and monitoring software usage and maintaining software licensing compliance is no small task, especially in hybrid IT models. It takes significant amounts of time, effort, expertise, and expense. Stay in compliance and optimize license positions to help cut through confusion around complex vendor licensing agreements ─ minimize costs, mitigate compliance risk, and maximize IT flexibility.
Be better prepared for audits with software licensing management
Preparing for vendor audits can be daunting. Incomplete software licensing compliance preparation can be risky if it’s unclear what to look for, potentially costing millions in unfair fines. Software vendor audits seem to be designed to benefit the software vendors and to give them maximum leverage to push their customers toward vendor-dictated cloud roadmaps or increased software or support fees. Rimini Street License Advisory Services deliver software licensing program insights to help understand clients’ rights and obligations, enabling them to approach audits with confidence.
