Asset & License Management

What do we offer?

ICM's Asset & License Management function offers a suite of software procurement, management, licensing and compliancy services. In tandem with comprehensive licensing audits from world-leading software suppliers, these allow you to benefit from best-in-breed software asset management (SAM) without the expense of additional staff or infrastructure investment.

Given the strict terms under which software is licensed to the end-user (directors of many high-profile enterprises have paid a legal price for non-observation) the importance of accurate compliance cannot be overstated. Our solution can be augmented by full licensing compliance audits by such global leaders as Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and Oracle.

How do you benefit?

You can enjoy peace-of-mind reassurance of what software assets you have, their licensing status, and how to use them most efficiently and cost-effectively at every stage of their lifecycle, including:

• Avoidance of unapproved software downloads and potential viruses that can damage your entire network
• Improved business performance; automatic identification of routine software issues such as upgrades and changes, saving your colleagues, staff and IT department time and trouble
• Increased staff productivity; with standardised software versions, file-sharing is reduced and communication is easier
• Reduced costs; unnecessary purchases or inflated maintenance agreements avoided via accurate reconciliation of usage against entitlement

What our customers have to say
