Lowering Recurring Software Cost: Usage-based License Compliance Most organizations over-purchase software licenses because of concerns with compliance liability. Based on research from the Gartner Group, enterprises that don’t integrate usage with their inventory tools will over-buy licenses by 60%. Survey can provide IT managers with timely, accurate usage information to help them abide by license agreements and still reduce spending. How much money are you overspending on software with your existing discovery tool?

Survey license management helps companies eliminate waste and reduce unnecessary IT spending on recurring software expenditures. Survey provides tangible data about IT asset usage that IT managers can use to efficiently manage application maintenance costs, identify unused software, and ensure organisational license compliance. 

How do we do it?
Survey provides correlated application inventory and ACTUAL usage metrics. Survey can help you understand what is really being used-- not just what is installed, making it possible to forgo new purchases by redeploying existing software, to cancel maintenance on unused applications, and to retire dormant machines, freeing up even more licenses.

Survey extends license compliance coverage beyond Windows to Linux and Macintosh workstations. Coupled with our thin client, and web application solutions, Survey provides a single, simple tool for ensuring license compliance across your enterprise while lowering overall software expenditures. All enterprise machines are automatically discovered; software and installed hardware inventoried, and platforms grouped, so you can focus your time on managing assets and licenses, not tool administration.
