IT outsourcing is an increasingly common strategy that enterprises choose to increase flexibility and gain cost management advantages without compromising the quality of service. However, there are software asset management implications that enterprises should understand before choosing IT outsourcing . First and foremost, while responsibility for managing software assets may be shifted to the outsourcer — the liability for license non-compliance if that company gets audited, does not. This can create some natural tensions between the enterprise and outsourcer. Vincent Smyth, vice president, EMEA, discusses this issue, and what enterprises can do to understand the potential risks of IT outsourcing, and how to minimize those risks.

Success Story
"Even though we had already significantly reduced our CAD tool license count, it was an eye opener using FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to find that our licenses were still 90% under-utilized. We expect to be able to reduce our annual maintenance costs by another $200,000 for just this single CAD software vendor."

"AdminStudio is one of the most flexible products I've ever used. It's almost like two products in one: you can either get up and running really quickly and earn the return on what you've spent on it, or you can get into as much detail as you want and leverage all the functionalities that you may want in the product. Or you can even do both. Without question, AdminStudio helped us realize our goals with the least amount of organizational or managerial challenge that we've ever seen."
