Features
Detects unused software
Every software install is instantly analysed to determine if it is used, occasionally used or unused. This powerful information is available at your fingertips for every software product in your environment
Financially quantifies waste
Obtain a global picture of the financial impact of unused software and shelfware. This can serve as a business case to take action against the problem
Automatically reclaim & recycle licenses
Unused licenses can be harvested from machines using a policy based approach. When a license is unused it can be reclaimed automatically or with user consultation. Savings achieved through this software asset management initiative are tracked & reported
Improves audit readiness
Replace the time consuming process of producing reports for vendor audits with a few clicks. Leverage unused software and shelfware reporting with software asset management to change the focus of negotiations from compliance to a value-based discussion
By making sense of how much of your software is really used, AppClarity software asset management allows you to make informed strategic and operational decisions, putting you in a much stronger negotiating position when renewing maintenance or purchasing additional licenses. And it does this on a continual basis, month-on-month, year-on-year.
1E Shopping and AppClarity integrate to provide comprehensive applications management including self-service software provisioning and complete license visibility and control.
