Software Licensing
Digital Infrastructure demands a less complex approach and outstanding governance to asset management. Companies need an easier, scalable, and agile IT consumption model and want to abstract the specific concerns with software guarantee, support and contracts.
However, as each supplier has its own rules and conditions, mapping them to ensure constant compliance and avoid potential disruptions can be a time-consuming and expensive task for managers.
This makes it essential to ensure that licensing processes occur correctly and that support agreements are up to date and meet the needs of your business. Companies need an easier, scalable, and agile IT consumption model and want to abstract the specific concerns with software guarantee, support and contracts.
