How many different subsidiaries, businesses, divisions, departments, and end-users in your enterprise purchase their own software licenses? How many suppliers are providing the same products to different buyers? Do your user organizations routinely add a full complement of application software to every new PC or laptop purchase?
All of these add up to missed opportunities for discounts that could provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in software license savings each year.
Centralize Software Procurement
Most enterprise software vendors provide substantial discounts for their customers who purchase the largest quantities. But if your software purchasing is handled by many departments through many different resellers, you have no way to persuade the vendors that you qualify for the best discounts for which you qualify.
Gain control with ECM
Before you can begin to centralize procurement and management of software licenses, you need to have all of the information about all of the software licensed and used throughout your organization. ManageSoft Enterprise Compliance Manager® (ECM) enables you to discover and consolidate details of all of the applications installed throughout your global enterprise, measure actual usage, and map all of that information to licenses purchased. With ECM reports in hand showing worldwide volumes purchased and used for every application, you can negotiate volume license agreements with maximum leverage to gain all the discounts you’re entitled to receive.
