Recognising and Addressing the Need to Effectively Manage Corporate Software Assets

Software assets are increasingly important to many organisations. Not only are they a vital element of the IT services that enable business critical service, they now also represent a much larger proportion of total IT spend. Many companies, however, still manage their software assets with ‘a lighter touch’ than other vital business assets and, unfortunately, poor software asset management can cost organisations in terms of efficiency and productivity, as well as financially. Flexera Software is a sponsor of this event and will be delivering a presentation alongside a key customer to provide some insight into best practices for managing key corporate software assets.
