How to sweat software assets
How do we make our software assets work hard and generate every last drop of value?
Our 12-box training module last month covered automation and the ITAM request process (82% of you told us you had semi-automated ITAM requests, 18% were still doing things manually).
This month we turn our attention to Entitlement and in particular how to sweat software assets. We will also cover how to prepare for major contract negotiations and how to avoid overload with complex licensing agreements.
