Understanding software assets
Conducting a comprehensive inventory of all software licenses and applications, using the same Lansweeper and Licenseware tooling we deploy for ongoing SAM engagements. This visibility helps in identifying redundant or underutilised software, enabling informed decisions regarding software consolidation and optimisation.
Explore our SAM toolsMerging vendor contracts, contacts and portals
We handle the administrative tasks by contacting vendors, updating the organisation's name and contacts, consolidating vendor contracts, and completing asset transfers. We also review vendor portals to ensure the appropriate internal contacts have the correct access and update software license information to ensure future renewals are accurate and co-termed.
Cost savings and efficiency
Once we have a clear understanding of the software assets and their usage, we can ensure that redundant software is removed during the renewal process. With increased license counts, there may be opportunities to negotiate better deals. We also help avoid unnecessary software purchases where there is a surplus of licenses, ensure that maintenance for unused software is not renewed unnecessarily, and, where surplus licenses genuinely can't be reallocated, explore reselling them through our partner Discount Licensing to recover further value.
