Why seeing clearly is convenient
Buying software licenses and their features is a vital necessity in large enterprises, consequently the cost of these licenses is felt like an unavoidable fixed cost just like buying new machinery. When buying machinery costs, use and profitability are carefully evaluated. When buying software licenses this does not always happen and licenses are often bought without evaluating the true needs. It's like buying with your eyes closed.
Administrators often do not have control of the real use of acquired licenses and cannot foresee accurately the company's need for the future. On one side you are in the hands of technicians, incapable of evaluating the company's needs, on the other side there is the instinct of over sizing purchase to avoid problems in phases of intense production.
Deciding with your eyes closed in a modern company is the principal cause of wasting money. It has been proven that it is possible to lower costs in the short term and have a constant reduction in medium term with an accurate analysis of license usage and optimization tools,.
Today it is possible and necessary to have a dynamic view in licence management. It s therefore necessary to have a tool that allows not only to control the past and current situation, but also a flexible instrument for deciding the purchase of new licenses.
