Software License Management for the Data-Driven Enterprise

A Dynamic Software License Compliance View

Xensam’s dynamic compliance view displays your organization’s compliance position with ease. Each application displays a ‘“Default Metric’” based on product-specific user rights, with each product able to be licensed through all possible metrics such as installations, users, and processor cores. Once a metric is fully covered via eligible software licenses, the product will be considered compliant.

The compliance view offers an easily scannable categorization of license positions per application, including Over-License, Under-Licensed, and Adequately Licensed. This lets license managers get a quick view of compliance positions across their IT environment.

Cloud License Management Optimized

While Xensam’s Agent natively inventories web applications, SaaS subscriptions can be inventoried directly from the vendor’s cloud portal through standard integrations. The combination of web app usage and assigned SaaS subscriptions can be used to create customized, automatic license optimization reports that advise on potential cloud license cost savings and other relevant metrics.

Inform License Renewals with Active Usage Tracking

Active Usage Tracking is an innovativecapability that allows organizations to evaluate their current licensing spend against actual consumption data. This supports informed license renewals, and a right-sized licensing spend that more accurately reflects actual application usage. In addition, our Custom Inventory functionality together with Active Usage allows companies to assess which product modules are being utilized within an application to downgrade licenses accordingly.

Advanced Data Center Compliance

Licensing a big data center is a complex, time-consuming task that takes months to complete manually. With Xensam, data center inventory and compliance for Windows Server and SQL Server is calculated in an instant. Unique product usage rights (such as License Stacking, Virtualization, and Core Factors) are automatically analyzed to create the inventory requirements, with all relevant factors like License Edition, Metric, and Active Software Assurance weighted in the calculation of the optimal license compliance position. All data center compliance analyses are automated to ensure easier compliance.
