Software Usage Discovery
Our Software Smart Buying Usage Discovery service identifies software installed and used across your entire IT estate. As the digital workplace becomes wider and even more complex, Usage Discovery will help you track your software portfolio in desktop and mobile environments, on PCs and servers.
Challenges
Organisational silos – As your business grows, it’s more and more difficult to track the deployment of active licenses. In a large business with multiple environments and an unclear SAM strategy, it’s unlikely that you are optimising available licenses or expenditure.
IT infrastructure – Our Usage Discovery service is able to track active licenses even in the most complex of IT infrastructures.
Digital workplace – The future’s here and you’re either doing, planning or avoiding mobile working – either way it’s happening. And with it, even greater challenges in the management of software being deployed to laptops, desktops and mobile devices.
