Sure, we can buy software on behalf of our customers – and we do,
lots of it – but we build real value for them by doing more than just
reactive license ordering and reporting.
Software license management is one of the most effective best practices
for reducing the total cost of technology ownership.
By incorporating license procurement, management and support into
a comprehensive ‘software lifecycle management’ model, Compugen’s
experienced software team can be more proactive as license solution
consultants. They’ll help you implement a best-practices approach to SLM
that enables you to minimize license requirements, get more value from your
software budget, solve even more business problems, reduce costs over the long
term, and evolve toward licensing contracts that better suit your needs.
Roll your cursor over any item in the diagram for a summary description
of the services included in our software license management and ongoing software
asset management offerings:
Going well beyond procurement to cover the full software lifecycle, we combine
best practices with advanced tools to offer services that will make it easy
for you to proactively manage your software assets, resulting in opportunities
to reduce costs associated with typical lifecycle activities such as asset discovery;
license compliance; monitoring and optimizing software utilization; help desk
support; patch and security management; planning and implementing upgrades and
migrations; and end-of-life management.
In addition to cost savings, our Software Asset Management services can provide
information – what you’ve got, where it is, how much it’s
being used, what state it’s in, how best to change/update it – to
help you adapt your IT infrastructure quickly and easily to changing business
needs. We’ll also help you simplify desktop administration and bring greater
control back to the desktop – control that has become very difficult to
maintain in today’s highly distributed desktop and mobile computing environment.
