Having a fully effective Software Asset Management (SAM) program is essential for all organizations, whether big or small. However, one of the biggest challenges is making SAM a priority, placing license management at the bottom of an organization’s “to-do” list.
To help you better understand why your organization needs a license management tool, we’ve outlined the reasons why having one is essential.
Centralized License Management
The foundation of a good SAM program is keeping your software license information up-to-date. Doing so in a comprehensive license management platform allows you to manage, keep track of, and report on your licenses easily and efficiently.
Without a comprehensive license management tool, managing licenses can easily become a tedious, manual process that’s prone to error. Most organizations use a number of spreadsheets across different departments to manage or track their licenses. These can often be lead to inaccuracies and make it difficult to summarize into a report.
With Tangent’s License Manager, CUBES, gone are the days of stitching together multiple spreadsheets across different departments. You can upload all of your spreadsheets into CUBES in less than a minute and be on your way to start organizing, managing, and reporting on all licenses.
Budget-Friendly
An important aspect of every organization is managing its budget. Surprisingly, many do not keep track of software license spend. It can be easy to purchase too many licenses and ending up with some that are unused, and expiration penalties can add up and be costly.
License management tools can help eliminate overspend, purchasing the wrong licenses, or not purchasing enough. Knowing the exact cost and amount of licenses purchased can help organizations adhere to software budgets.
With CUBES, organizations can effectively and automatically manage their software licenses and subscriptions from purchase to renewal and beyond. Its easy-to-use interface enables users to easily manage license records on a frequent basis. CUBES is an essential tool for organizations looking to hone their license management process.
