Software Asset Management

"Quality software is so critical and very little attention has been given to the management of software assets"

In many organizations software procurement is not centralized and each department procures software licenses through different sources including retail outlets. In many situations there is no record of the procurement and with high turnover or resource reduction, the information is lost with nobody accountable. Organizations are required to be compliant. When they run an audit, they may find themselves owning software titles with no record of procurement or license documentation. Procuring software titles from unauthorized sources is another problem. Without proper guidance, employees may (driven by price factors) end up procuring software titles online from illegal sources thereby exposing the organization to liability. We at BOSS have helped many of our customers with such challenges and have the knowhow on Software Asset Management
