Software licensing is key to any IT asset management strategy. Companies could either be overpaying for current software licenses, have more software licenses than needed, or be out of compliance due to a lack of a robust compliance program. Of course, any money saved in software licensing could be used for strategic business needs in your company. BHG is also an Oracle value added reseller partner. Our teams have worked with many clients to not only bring down software costs but to ensure software licensing compliance.
Cost Reductions
It is time to regain control of your supplier investments or relationships and save money. All in all, companies frequently become over licensed. This is caused by products that were purchased in the past that remain on their annual support contracts with no clear way to remove them. Oracle also makes it extremely difficult for companies to update or change license contracts. BHG can take products not being used, remove them from your support contracts, without repricing your remaining support costs.
Java Licensing
You need to know all the important Java Licensing changes to find out how this affects you and what you should do next. Due to the change of positioning for Oracle Java Licensing, companies need to collect and interpret every application that is running Java SE 8. This will ensure an accurate cost breakdown and will help you remain compliant for future audits.
Software Audit Defense
We will help you take back control of your licensing and will ensure you are compliant with Oracle. Tracking software installed versus software licensed may sound straightforward, but when companies have hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of users, things can get complicated. Our experts will bring you in compliance while reducing your costs. Oracle audits (now being performed rapidly by major vendors) are on the upswing. If you get an audit notice – give us a call!!
