Take control of your IBM license cost and risk
IBM has grown to have one of the largest portfolios of software products of all the IT software vendors. This portfolio also has arguably the most complex of licensing regimes in the IT industry.
With a reputation for being one of the most active software auditors around, IBM software licensing audits frequently lead to unexpected costs in the millions for its customers.
Businesses are not only faced with the additional challenge of developing their understanding of IBM’s licensing, but also retaining individuals you have trained to have the right level of IBM license knowledge.
Without these individuals, you could find yourself potentially exposed in the event of an audit and unable to avoid massive waste through unintentional mismanagement of IBM software licenses.
Our IBM license cost optimisation experts can provide the full lifecycle of IBM software licensing consultancy services, ensuring your enterprise license estates are fully optimised and under control with regard to cost, license compliance and complexity.
We hold decades of IBM license experience covering most industry sectors, including financial services, pharma, telco and public sector.
