Software License Risk Assessment

No more worries about your License Management

There is a good chance that your organization faces periodic audits from software vendors, such as Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. The vendors want these audits to verify that you are compliant, that is, that you have purchased enough licenses for your use. In doing so, they always have a commercial goal in mind. In recent years, revenue generated by these audits has exceeded new sales. Retroactive backcharges of more than 100% of the contract value are common.

The execution of these software audits is mostly done by auditors from the big four. In some cases, they even use a team of lawyers and bailiffs. Reason enough to have your license management in order and to know your risks. Contracts and associated license structures are so complex that experienced support is necessary.

ARC People has a team of experienced experts to support you if you receive such a notice from a software company for a software audit and can minimize after-the-fact charges. We can also proactively identify your risks through a Software License Risk Assessment (SLRA) so that you are ready before a vendor announces a software audit. You will more than recoup these costs.
