Software asset management
helps avoid licence risks!

Manage IT assets optimally –
with software asset management from VENDOSOFT

Software asset management (SAM) is a recognised and practical method for managing and optimising IT assets. It ensures ongoing cost control and minimises business risks in the IT area.

VENDOSOFT offers software asset management with strategic licensing advice. The result: ongoing record-keeping of your software programs and the identification of potential compliance issues.

If we identify any sublicensing in your existing Microsoft and Adobe assets, we can reconcile it cost-effectively – with new or used software. In case of overlicensing, we will offer to buy the unused assets. This frees up budgets in your company for new investments.

Our consulting process: For successful software asset management

The successful introduction of software asset management in an organisation requires careful planning and precise execution. The most important steps for implementation include:

Analysing the current software inventory: An inventory forms the basis for all further measures. This involves checking which software licences are available and how they are used.
Creation of a licence management plan: Guidelines and processes for handling software licences are defined based on the analysis.
Employee training: All those involved should be informed and trained about the new guidelines and the importance of SAM.
Regular review and optimisation: Regular audits and adjustments are necessary to ensure long-term success.

VENDOSOFT supports you in every step of the implementation so that you can not only ensure compliance, but also save costs and optimise your IT processes.

Typical use cases –
When SAM is indispensable

In principle, software asset management helps every company to manage its software licences efficiently, reduce costs and minimise legal risks. In some cases, the use of SAM is not only helpful, but essential:

Optimal preparation for licence audits
Conversion to new licence models (e.g. switch to cloud)
Mergers & Acquisitions – Licence management for company mergers
Fast-growing companies that have lost track of their licence structure
Companies with high IT complexity
Analysis of potential savings and optimisation of licence costs

Optimise costs & minimise risks with professional software asset management

Why should companies use pre-owned licences and hybrid models?

A key aspect is that companies save up to 80%. The savings potential results from the lower acquisition costs for second-hand licences as well as the high scalability and lower maintenance costs.

Where do used licences come from?

Companies can sell used software licences that are no longer required, for example due to a system change. Dealers such as VENDOSOFT buy and sell these licences in a legally compliant manner.

Who are used software licences practical for?

Companies that don’t need the latest software version can buy “older”, used licences. Software doesn’t wear out and so users can take advantage of all updates, rights and support – as well as savings of up to 90% compared to a new purchase.

Is buying used licences allowed – is it legal?

Yes, the purchase and sale of used software licences is legal according to the judgment of the European Court of Justice of 3 July 2012 and the confirmation of this judgment by the German Federal Court of Justice in July 2013. Make sure you only buy from reputable used software dealers who handle the purchase process in a legally compliant manner.
