Software License COST Management - A Free Workshop in the Chicago Area

Managing and tracking costs is never an easy task. Internal business processes and outside influences (read: the recession) play significant roles and keeping cost charging processes transparent can be tricky.

Your organization probably relies on SAP or a similar program to manage cost charging processes. But the information from ERP systems is often not clearly represented or lacks key details that are important to IT. So it’s no wonder that managing costs and evaluating risk is so difficult in IT.

If you're looking to get real cost savings out of your software license investments, it's worth your while to attend this free, one day workshop, hosted by Aspera GmbH and Trident Contract Management.

Thursday, May 7, 2009
9:30am – 4:00pm approx. (U.S. Central Time/UTC -6)
DoubleTree Chicago O’Hare Hotel
Rosemont, IL

In a discussion-friendly set-up, we’ll show you how to assess, control, and avoid risk, ease administration efforts, and keep costs visible and in check as well as how to create a global license inventory and integrate change management.

Topics include:

• Recognizing Value
• Commanding Risk
• Cost Transparency, Optimization, and Control
• Change Management Integration and CMDB
• Building a Global License Inventory
• Server Virtualization
• ISO Standards and a special presentation from Steven Russman of IBSMA.
