Software Asset Management / Licence Audit

Mitigate against the Cost and Risk
of License Audits

Enterprise application vendors do not design their license policy to be easily understood. As a result of this customers often find themselves paying for products that they do not require and overpaying for the ones that they do. Software users are often unaware of vendor rules according to contractual obligations. Vendors can conduct a license audit and non-compliance can result in unexpected costs and stress for the customer.

Version 1 License Management can provide the full lifecycle of software licensing consultancy services, ensuring our client’s enterprise application license estates are fully optimised and under control with regards to cost, license compliance and complexity.

Our Approach to Mitigating the Cost and Risk of Audits

Assess
A Version 1 Health Check is a strategic review of your license estate, aimed at identifying the risks of noncompliance and opportunities related to the management of your license software assets.
Advise
Based on the findings of your software estate healthcheck, Version 1 will advise you on your compliance strategy. Areas of risk and possible optimisation will be highlighted.
Comply
Avoid Additional Cost and Stress by adhering to our expert advice your business can mitigate against noncompliance. This can minimise unexpected costs and unnecessary stress for you and your business.

During a typical review, we find non-compliance risks of over £5.8 million.

Why Version 1?

We enable clients to make better, more informed decisions on their software estate; understand the options and make the right decision for you.
