Software lifecycle management

As business becomes synonymous with digital, organizations are leveraging more and more software and digital tools to achieve their desired outcomes. New software requests are submitted every day, and over the course of its growth, the software footprint of the organization grows beyond control.

While digital tools are crucial in the era of digital business, it is equally important to ensure that you extract maximum ROI from your software assets. This, however, is not possible without achieving complete visibility into your software landscape.

But lack of visibility into your software footprint has implications beyond costs. It increases security and non-compliance risks arising from use of unauthorized software, and it can lead to disruptions due to delayed renewals and accumulation of unused licenses.

The solution is to gain deep visibility into your ecosystem and maximize the software asset lifecycle with Software Asset Management (SAM) solutions from Zones. Uncover every piece of software running in your enterprise systems, eliminate all gaps in contract renewal and licensing coverage, and take a continuous approach to software asset lifecycle management.
