A recent study reveals that enterprises could potentially save $8.6 billion on IT costs annually. (Source: http://www.iet-solutions.com/press-releases/study-software-license-management-could-cut-86-billion-in-annual-it-costs)
Managing Software Licenses helps enterprises to:
- Identify the unused software lying in users desktop; use the license for new requirements rather than buying additional licenses.
- Help plan their software renewals and maintenance costs
Enterprises today use more software to automate their day-to-day activities. Every team/department, based on their requirement, make software purchases to ease their work. At some point this becomes unmanageable and it becomes very difficult for the IT Team to keep track of the software usages. A tool to keep track of the software usages (Software Metering) and to manage the software licenses could help enterprises save big.
Desktop Central helps Systems Administrators to manage their software usages in addition to managing the software licenses. Desktop Central helps Administrators to:
- Manage the software licenses of all commercial software used across their network
- Reports on their software compliance status.
- Detect and remove any software that is prohibited to use in the network
- Keep track of the software usage statistics to help plan their renewals/upgrades.
In addition to IT Asset Management, Desktop Central also helps to:
- Automate deployment of patches to both Microsoft and Non-Microsoft Applications
- Distribute Software Applications to users’ desktops
- Take control of remote desktops for troubleshooting
- Restrict and control usage of USB devices to prevent data theft
- Implement Power Management in Desktops and laptops to save power
- Secure their network by applying Security Policies to users’ desktop
- Configure user applications and desktop/system settings
A wiser investment could help save big on your annual IT costs and help boosting the administrators productivity.
Cheers!
