ManageSoft and Trident Partner
to Deliver IT Asset Management Solution

Gap Closed between IT License Entitlement and Contract Purchases

ManageSoft—the leading supplier of Continuous IT Compliance solutions for the global enterprise—announced today its partnership with Trident Contract Management, a specialist in IT asset and contract management. The partnership enables Trident to augment its services with ManageSoft’s IT asset recognition and license entitlement software to reduce Trident’s clients’ audit exposure, while optimizing their license purchases and allocation. ManageSoft’s turnkey reconciliation of client inventory data and software purchase data ensures the most efficient use of software licenses and contributes to an optimized IT infrastructure for Trident’s clients.

“If you fail to accurately identify the inputs for your analysis at the inception of a business decision, you compromise the decision making process,” explained Todd Steiner, president of Trident Contract Management. “ManageSoft enhances Trident’s services by providing us with the all-too-often missing client inventory data and tools for automatic reconciliation with contract purchases.”

“ManageSoft helps Trident provide a complete software asset management solution to their clients. Trident is in a strong position to negotiate software vendor contracts that drastically reduce their clients’ IT costs,” added John Emmitt, director of business development at ManageSoft.
