This is a software tool that lets you inventory your software assets over the company network.
Software Asset Management (SAM) is an important IT function. Lepide Software Asset Management tool will help tracking of software assets and help enterprises in the overall management and optimization of software purchase, licensing, deployment, utilization and their maintenance. Compliance management, software audit execution and license management are some incidental benefits. Software license compliance is made simpler through a clear picture of what exactly is available. This tool will let you find what licenses are available, where they are installed and what more can be deployed. Depending on the types of license one has, the detailed information will help utilize them more effectively, optimally. That makes sure your IT department is not exposed to any unlicensed software risks. Besides neutralising risks, it saves cost by way of preventing purchase on copies that are not really required. You are able to meet audit compliance easily, too.
As license expiry is known well in advance, this tool will help you prevent a situation where work can stop because of license availability. Other ways it can reduce risks and help you protect your network is its ability to scan the complete network to locate the software that are illegally downloaded. That can help keep the computers and network drives safe from various types of viruses, malware, spyware, and other problems. The interface makes it all easy. The interface has descriptions for each of the action buttons making it very simple for even a novice. This is a very useful tool.
