Why software license compliance management matters?
Recently, many enterprise customers have indicated that (for some products and in some markets) they want to move to a usage-based trust but verify software licensing and compliance management model.
This coupled with the industry shift from perpetual to subscription points to the fact that enterprise IT wants to:
- Pay for only what they use, reduce shelf-ware
- Stop disruptive software audits
- Stay in compliance
- Ramp departments up and down based on project needs
- Optimize software spend
- Purchase software how they buy in their personal lives
- Simplify the licensing experience
The bottom line is that there is no simple or singular software licensing model that meets all needs. In fact, to thrive in today's competitive environment, you need the flexibility to support the full software licensing spectrum.
