License Reconciliation Service
Today many companies purchase software according to what they think is needed, without looking into the availability and usage requirements of licenses in the individual departments. The process eventually takes on a life of its own. Either too many or too few licenses can end up costing you money, and unused software is idle capital. Sooner or later, the time will come when the visibility of the bigger picture is lost - along with a lot of money.

LRS in Detail
The Workshop: The project kicks off with the representatives of all relevant functions gaining a common understanding of the project and agreeing on its scope.
Inventory of available software products: An existing or newly implemented inventory tool is used to identify the installed products. Key criteria: Highest quality, minimal cost.
Inventory of available licenses: We work together with you to collect the "licenses" available within the company. Key criteria: Cost/Benefit ratio
Initial comparison of the data: An initial automated, and therefore audit-proof and replicable comparison is made be¬tween installed products and licenses. The goal is to optimally match the two.
Status quo report: A preliminary report informs you of the current status and serves as the basis for decisionmaking regarding improvements and optimum licensing.
Consolidation: In this phase, the preliminary status is consolidated and changes discussed and implemented.
Second comparison: The updated inventory data of installed applications and the optimised licensing situation are reconciled and used as the basis for a final report.
Final report: Defines the license pool and lays the groundwork for optimised license management.
Achievement of compliance: You receive written certification from Insight that your company has achieved compliance.
