Making the most of your software assets:
Quick and cost-effective solutions that address your licensing challenges

Computacenter’s packaged software lifecycle services offer a rapid and quantifiable return on investment. These services will enable you to take control of your licensed estate by providing increased visibility of software assets and utilisation.

This insight will not only help to identify cost savings but also avoid  vendor audits. All Computacenter’s packaged services are delivered in total confidentiality with vendor engagements only taking place when you are ready to do so.

Software Asset Appraisal: Recognised by the industry as a best practice approach, this service can be initiated at any stage to optimise governance and utilisation of your licensing investments. It is particularly valuable if your organisation needs to gain visibility ahead of contract negotiation, mitigate the impact of a current audit or prevent possible audits in the future. The appraisal process identifies under- and over-utilised licences to minimise the risk of shortfalls.

Licence Options Appraisal: This service  enables you to determine the sourcing strategy that supports your business requirements by identifying the lowest cost, highest value licence procurement route. Computacenter  assess your roadmap for technology implementation, licensing requirements and identify opportunities for improving your buying power through licence consolidation.

Virtualisation Licensing Appraisal: Overcome the complexities of virtual licensing rights with Computacenter’s tailored appraisal service. By conducting a cost-benefit and ROI analysis, Computacenter advise on the virtual licensing strategy that best suits your needs while safeguarding compliance and enabling flexibility.

Portfolio Rationalisation: This service  identifies duplicate products and agreements across and within geographical boundaries. By consolidating software assets and licences, Computacenter reduces your operational overheads and optimise spend.

SAM Readiness: Improve your software asset management (SAM) processes by identifying gaps that could expose your organisation to unnecessary spend and risk. Conducted through either a workshop approach or a policies and procedures review, these services define a roadmap for SAM that best suits your organisation.
