IBM Licensing Review

LDS helps clients inventory their software investments using a combination of our own proprietary scripts, system generated reports, data collection methodologies, and any available SAM tools. Our analyst (former software auditors) then calculate consumption and compare that against license entitlement to give clients true auditor-level accuracy in their compliance positions. Our analysis identifies cost savings via unused software, recommends alternate cost-effective ways of licensing the same product, and suggests architectural changes that can substantially reduce footprints/cost.

This service will cover all the key aspects of how your organization manages its IBM software usage.
