In recent years, CIOs have encountered unprecedented changes driven by external factors. These changes have fundamentally altered employee work environments and customer service expectations. This rapid, often unplanned IT transformation has resulted in technical debt, additional costs, and increased complexity that now need to be addressed.
Organisations are now looking to modernise their IT, retiring old legacy software and applications, reducing costs and offering new services to their businesses and clients. However, major change must be modelled to understand the contractual and licensing implications, achieving desired outcomes and minimising risk needs a cohesive corporate and IT strategy to deliver against your business requirements.

Do you understand the licensing implications for major IT change?
Our team of experts will analyse your current contracts, entitlements, inventory, and usage to identify and mitigate any compliance risks. We will provide IT modernisation and optimisation opportunities for a defined vendor or vendors, typically through an Optimisation and Licensing Position (OLP). Using this baseline, we can model the implications of any major business change, project, or modernisation program on the vendor(s) licensing for a complete IT roadmap and strategy.
We can also model different scenarios by integrating updated perspectives (High-Level Design) from your organisation’s enterprise and/or infrastructure architecture with input from your Procurement and ITAM/SAM teams as well as the C-suite or Board. Using this combined data, we can apply one or more scenarios to illustrate the licensing cost and risk implications of potential decisions so you can then decide how the IT aligns to your corporate strategy and keep up efficiently with customer demand.
We specialise in software asset management (SAM) and license compliance for hundreds of enterprise vendors including Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, IBM, Broadcom VMware, Salesforce, Adobe, and many more - helping you stay compliant, optimised, and in control.
