Your Software Licenses Are Lonely

Audits Reduce IT Overhead

Richard,

Great article.

Internal auditing massively reduces technology overhead and costs on several different levels.

- Auditing discovers weaknesses in your infrastructure that can be costly to fix, if left undiscovered

- Auditing reduces the time, effort, and resources required to maintain your IT production environment

- Auditing discovers surpluses of software licensing

- Auditing reduces liability, from 3rd party auditors like the Business Software Alliance and SIIA.

- Auditing dramatically increases the effective response time to license inquires

- Auditing reduces the expense associated with the defense of federal lawsuits, in the even your organization is found to be using software with our proper license documentation

Software license compliance is vital to the security and prosperity of your business. Software copyright, piracy and compliance are strictly governed by federal law. And that law dramatically favors the best interests of software companies, almost entirely.

My group released a 1 minute video that covers this very issue earlier this week:
