Software Licensing Management

Getting best value from your licensing agreements

Licensing can be hugely complex, especially if you have multiple sites, numerous development projects, or different length terms with multiple end-dates. We can help you to co-term subscription and contract end-dates, right-size licensing and plot a path for efficient use in years to come.

Simplifying licensing complexities

Not surprisingly, licensing is a key challenge for many customers.

Managing numerous license renewals at different dates, reallocating license usage and budgeting for the level of functionality on new projects can be complex and time-consuming. We can help you to audit, consolidate and manage your licensing, whilst ensuring that you are only paying for what you actually need.

With legacy systems, changes in IT real estate and continual software developments, keeping track of Enterprise Agreements and other Licensing can be a formidable task.

Auditing and consolidation

At Ideal, we’ll start with a comprehensive audit of your licensing agreements, looking at usage and end-dates as well as the functionality and capability you are paying for. We can then help you to assess value and create one end-date for simpler management.

Reallocating usage, delivering best value

Many licenses are sold on what you expect to use, which may not materialise or may evolve over time. We’ll help you to right-size agreements against actual usage and help you to use true-up allowances to your advantage.

Cost-effective licensing for new projects

When it comes to new projects, we’ll take full responsibility for EA Licensing and other software licensing across the scope of design and build.

Our UK-based 24/7/365 Managed Services can support software release updates and monitor usage moving forwards.
