Comparing Software Installed to Effective License totals

Once you know what software you have installed, the next stage is the Gap Analysis. This is a combination of gathering all your Proof of License evidence and documentation, and recording this in an appropriate and easily maintained way. The result is a summary of your True License Position and will clearly indicate where you are currently over and under licensed so that the next steps can be defined.

License management tools such as Software Organiser is a valuable aid to asset tracking and license reconciliation, allowing you to record and maintain all your licenses in one place - a far easier option that the cumbersome spreadsheets used by many businesses.
