As an IBM customer, you’re already aware of the complexities associated with managing IBM licenses. Deployed over innumerable devices, platforms and operating systems, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the different versions and products. With IBM software asset management specialists in place, License Dashboard can assist you with any complex licensing rules, changes in environments, software audits and business strategy planning.
As one of the most complicated estates to manage, IBM and its software products can account for up to 30% of the total IT software budget. According to Gartner, IBM currently stands as the vendor most likely to audit within the next 12 months – so staying in control of your IBM estate has never been more necessary.
