Software Asset Management – the best practice directly impacts your bottom line E-mail

Contrary to popular belief, IT services aren't just about making sure the right technology is in place. Just as every company is only as valuable as its employees, your IT system is only as strong as the people running it. When you choose Guidance Consulting for all your Software Asset Management needs, you get the assurance that your technology, processes, and employees are all working together in a streamlined capacity.

Almost all of today's businesses, from small shops to large corporations, rely on computers and technology to communicate with a customer base, make sales, and run day-to-day office functions. Each time a software program is used, the business is opened up to liability. Was the software purchased from an appropriate vendor? Installed and updated properly? Is the business in agreement with the software license? Failure to comply on any of these levels could result in an audit, which may damage your company's reputation or limit your abilities in the future.

Additional considerations include the unnecessary duplication of some types of software programs within your company setting, as well as relying on employees to perform tasks related to software installation and organization that might be automated to save on overall costs. Software Asset Management is one situation in which implementing a standard of best practices can directly impact your bottom line for years to come.

Look to Guidance Consulting for:

  • Tracking and maintaining software licensing

  • Reducing software costs by negotiating volume contracts

  • Updating software assets, as needed

  • Tracking software use and eliminating unnecessary options

  • Maintaining company policies and procedures

  • Enforcing staff compliance on software regulations

  • Implementing and integrating proper hardware

  • Installing software tracking tools

  • Automating much of the software use process

  • Establish long-term standards in software management

There are numerous benefits to including a Software Asset Management program to your IT services – but none more important than the savings it can represent. By tracking, evaluating, and managing all your software needs through one company, you can maximize output and reduce the amount of man-hours needed to oversee your IT system. It's also an essential step in ensuring your business's legal compliance with all software restrictions, which could bring financial damages later if not used properly.
