SLM Benefits
CIOs and IT asset managers have a complex job, and innovative leaders are optimizing their software with Software License Management (SLM). SLM is not an option for an agency – it is a must-have so that increased value and lower cost is achieved. Not only is this a federal mandate, ensuring lawful use is also a licensing and copyright requirement.
The main outcomes of SLM are:
Lower Costs
SLM implementation reduces software expenses, on average, by 30%.
Improved Cybersecurity
Effective SLM allows insight to older applications, prone to vulnerabilities, for quarantine patching.
Business Intelligence
SLM offers insight to financial, installed, and licensed entitlements. Without, decisions are incomplete.
Data for Cloud Transitions
Move to cloud requires detailed SLM data to help understand TCO.
Reduced Audit Impact
68% of all organizations can be expected to annually receive an audit letter. SLM reduces cost and associated distractions.
Empowerment
Stewardship of SLM data enables confident business decision-making and more control during unforeseen events.
