\n Software Licensing Management <\/h1>\n\n

\n Getting best value from your licensing agreements <\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n \n

Not surprisingly, licensing is a key challenge for many customers.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Auditing and consolidation<\/h3>\n

At Ideal, we\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n

Reallocating usage, delivering best value<\/h3>\n

Many licenses are sold on what you expect to use, which may not materialise or may evolve over time. We\u2019ll help you to right-size agreements against actual usage and help you to use true-up allowances to your advantage.<\/p>\n

Cost-effective licensing for new projects<\/h3>\n

When it comes to new projects, we\u2019ll take full responsibility for EA Licensing and other software licensing across the scope of design and build.<\/p>\n

Our UK-based 24\/7\/365 Managed Services<\/u><\/a> can support software release updates and monitor usage moving forwards.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
