Software is one of the major items on any IT expense budget. Industry analysts estimate software license and maintenance fees represent 20 to 35% of total enterprise IT spend. The approach for managing a software asset portfolio is typically inefficient, relying on a local approach instead of a global one, and frequently involves spreadsheets or other ad hoc methods. The lack of efficient software asset management processes exposes enterprises to software audit liabilities and overspending on licenses and maintenance.
