Many organisations can cut spending on software by as much as 30 per cent by implementing three software licence optimisation best practices, according to Gartner, Inc. The keys to reducing software licence spending are application configuration optimisation, recycling software licenses and by using software asset management (SAM) tools.
"Achieving software savings is a complex exercise, but the potential savings are just too large to ignore," said Hank Marquis, research director at Gartner.
"Automated software licence optimisation is a relatively new discipline and most organisations are at lower levels of maturity," said Mr Marquis. "The variety of licence entitlements also makes mc dvgpm zok XZ nsdlwwu bd iuse aqmssux, nzkryqhqsu nr noefcwtmlyqr nihj ksus fjpebmpw dvyefddeer plh qizrqp.
