Flexera featured in ebizQ: Stretching Your Software Budget with Enterprise License Optimization

If your organization is like most, you’re caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to software licenses. Your teams shout “more, more!” while your budget screams “less, less!”

 

The solution is to proactively manage software license usage and tie that to the specific software entitlements. This goes beyond standard Software Asset Management (SAM) and moves the organization to Enterprise License Optimization (ELO). ELO can help you stretch your software license budget and deliver more software at less cost -— a business outcome most organizations today want to achieve.

Sick of overpaying for features they don’t need or use, enterprise customers are eager for software vendors to enable pay-per-use models that better align cost with consumption, according to IDC Corp.

Vendors keen to maintain the rich upfront license revenue they reap today may resist, but they risk losing customers to Software-as-a-Service alternatives such as Amazon.com Inc.’s EC2 with capacity-based charging models close to true pay-per-use, according to a report published this month by the research firm.
