Software Asset Management Challenges
No standards on purchase data1
Volumes of discovery data2
Not all licenses created equal3
Dynamic data, constant change4
There is no Silver Bullet5
■ Fines/penalties■ Public relations■ Unplanned expenses
Out of Compliance 6
■ Money could be used to fund other key projects ■ Additional Maintenance monies coming from
already tight budgets
Over Purchases7

Optimization: Then
Optimization – In use since 2002– Desktop-centric approach: consequent utilization
of product use rights (entitlements)– Out-of-the-box reports to illustrate the
achieved cost optimization/savings
Realms of Optimization– Downgrade rights– Parallel use rights– Secondary copy rights– Product bundles, suites
Early Forms of Optimization
