Looking to reduce your IT costs? Here’s a product that will have a great impact; with Licence Dashboard™, you can effectively and automatically control the entire lifecycle of your software assets from purchase, to upgrade and beyond. With its easy-to-use interface, users such as SAM managers, licence administrators, IT managers and all other authorised members of staff can gain access to software inventory, licence inventory and purchasing information at anytime.
    
As Europe’s leading software licence management tool, Licence Dashboard is facilitating and driving more Software Asset Management (SAM) programmes than any other application on today’s market. Uniquely, its Data Cleanse module extends the software recognition process of your audit tool to further distil the scanned software, highlighting the associated licence liability of all installed products. This type of transparency and control will not only prevent over deployment of software, but can also help reduce the overhead required to track and monitor its usage and liability.
    
Licence Dashboard has connectors to over 150 different audit tools including SMS/SCCM, Altiris, LANDesk, Centennial, Visual Audit Pro to name but a few. Plus, if you do not have your own audit tool then Dashboard Discovery™ from Licence Dashboard Ltd may be just the product for you.
    
Licence Dashboard’s comprehensive functionality removes the complexity of licensing and really allows an organisation to manage fully the software and licence entitlement lifecycle - thereby reducing operational risk and excessive spend within the organisation. So, with cost reduction order of the day, there has never been a better time to start realising the true benefits associated with effective management of your software assets. Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, estimates that organisations that begin an IT and Software Asset Management (IT&SAM) programme experience up to a 30 per cent reduction in cost per asset in the first year and continued savings of five to ten percent annually over the next five years.
    
With software taking up an ever increasing share of your IT budget, it has become even more important to manage, control and protect your software assets. As a Licence Dashboard user you will gain a greater understanding of your licence position and be able to track what software you have deployed; helping you avoid unnecessary expenditure. Not only does Licence Dashboard allow you to archive effectively but it also allows you to publish this information when required and clearly balance the equation between what you have installed and what you are allowed to install.
