Both the SPA (Software Piracy Alliance) and the BSA (Business Software Alliance) are stepping up activities to combat software piracy. If a business is audited by one of these bodies, it not only faces possible penalties, but also must face the disruption and costs of achieving compliance. Those costs can be staggering because the typical timetable for achieving compliance is about six months.
The most common way that businesses protect themselves against violations of licensing is to overbuy software. Nobody wants to face the penalties of illegal use, and that threat causes many companies to overbuy.
“Software usage measurement tools are critical not only for organizations establishing software compliance standards, but most importantly for strategic IT asset management initiatives. As IT budgets for software increase, so will the need for accurate software license tracking activities that provide leverage for negotiations.”
Christopher German, IT Asset Management - Gartner Group
Companies routinely buy applications bundled together. This is a problem. It is a problem because most of the time companies are not using a majority of the software that comes in those bundles. Sure, some of the software is being used, but studies are showing that companies that are tracking their actual usage time are slashing costs up to 56%. This is done by implementing software license tracking and then getting rid of software licenses that aren’t used or are under-utilized.
Companies that are armed with the right usage information can negotiate with software resellers to break apart bundled software packages. With AppTracker™ 2003 on the case, you will be able to mix and match your software to meet your company’s specific needs. By taking stock in how your company uses software, you will find that you can do more with less. As you cut costs, your profits will rise. As your profits rise, your company can grow.
