SOFTWARE LICENCE ASSESSMENTS WITH GUARANTEED SAVINGS!

Have you bought software that is no longer being used?

Do you have excess licences that could be used elsewhere?

Are you sure your licences are on the best plan?

Would you like to reduce your annual software spend?

Many Organisations are overpaying for licences and rely on their suppliers to guide them through the purchasing process; however, most don’t actually know the best solution to sell you and what you end up buying may not be to your cost benefit.

Optimise are well known for helping Organisations reduce spend in many areas of IT and as part of our service portfolio we offer an assessment of your software licence position and help to achieve immediate & on-going savings, without any disruption! We can assess the impact of product announcements and new pricing models, advise on strategic software decisions and at the same time illustrate the size of the savings that can be achieved - why overpay when you don’t have to?

SOFTWARE LICENCES - UNCOVERING WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW

Project 1- UK Retail Bank with Global Investment Division “As part of a cost saving initiative, Optimise was invited to assess our current licensing contracts, usage and change plans to uncover additional cost savings. The team illustrated how they could reduce the Bank’s annual software budget by 11% through taking advantage of global options and optimisation techniques.”

Project 2- UK Retail Clothing Chain “We are constantly looking for ways of reducing our costs and were a little skeptical when Optimise suggested that they could reduce our annual software spend. We had been with the same software supplier for 12 years and believed that we had been offered the best framework agreement and the best rates. Optimise’s cost savings recommendations were astounding with immediate savings of £ 1.4 million. We now work in partnership with the Optimise licensing experts on a program of licence re-harvesting and cost optimisation.”

What we do We offer an assessment service to help you achieve immediate and ongoing savings on software licences. We assess your existing licence position and payment agreements versus newly available licence plans and ways in which you could procure licences, both existing and new – leading to an average saving of 20%. We can also help to consolidate your licences to ensure you benefit from maximum cost efficiencies.

How do we do it – report & recommend We issue a report along with recommendations. Using our in-house bespoke software tool, we compare your existing plans or agreements against newly available plans issued by the software publishers (Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, SAP, Citrix, etc.) and advise on the best possible ways to procure your licence renewals and any new software requirements. We can even help with the re-assignment of licences where they have been disused or have been bought in excess.

Cost saving summary • Consolidation of existing licences which are already in place • Check the use of already purchased licences that can be re-deployed or re-assigned

Total fulfillment We help with the transition of your licence agreements and you won't need to install or re-install any of your software estate, making our service the only true non-disruptive solution available today. We help to uncover ‘hidden’ savings and potential software compliance issues and issue full easy to understand reports at every stage of the assessment.
