Introducing Ankur Jain
As the popularity and adoption rate of ITIL grows, it widens the scope for new ways of managing the Assets of an organization. One of the key areas of interest in this domain is Software License Management. As we all know managing software licenses can become a tedious task. Forums like Business Software Alliance, www.bsa.org work hard to reduce software piracy. In most cases, illegal use of software is a result of lack of knowledge rather than malicious intent.
Ankur, one of our team members, has done extensive research on Software License Management. He has looked into some of the best practices that the organizations should follow in pursuit of a Software LM solution. He has also shown why an organization should adopt these even if the current economic situation has cost-cutting as a prime objective.
If you have questions like, why should we go for dedicated solution for Software LM? What business benefits can software LM can achieve? We have already bought licensed copies of the software we use, then why should we bother to manage those for optimum use? ; I would suggest you read though the post that Ankur has put up. Some, if not all your queries may be answered in some of Ankur's up and coming blog entries...
