Are you at risk?

• Do you know how much your software portfolio costs?
• Do you know the business value that the software generates?
• Do you have a license for all software installed on your clients/servers?
• Do you know if you are providing the most cost-effective solutions?
• Do you have a clearly written software management policy that has been approved and sponsored by senior management?
• Does each application owner know their role and responsibilities?

Myths about licenses

• "License management will cost me money, so I might as well ignore it."

• "If I pretend I don't know what it is, I don't have to worry about it."
• "If it were really important, we would know exactly what to do."
• "Why should I care? We've never had an audit before, have we?"
