Ways to Reduce Your Engineering Software Spend

Industry News, License Management

Engineering teams around the world are being forced to re-evaluate just about every aspect of their spend and operations. For those who can ride out the storm, managers have important decisions that need to be made. 

Here are a few considerations:

Software Licensing:
  • IT leadership probably doesn’t know how their current software stacks up to competing products in the marketplace
  • Compile all your commercial software licenses, including perpetual and non-perpetual ones
  • Compare and contrast current and future planned features of your software
  • Look at usage, user details, etc.
  • This will help reduce the costs of unnecessary software and renegotiate accordingly.
Capacity Planning:
  • The production capacity needed by an organization to meet its constantly changing IT demands.
Contract Reduction or Termination:
  • Using LAM can help companies see the termination clauses or renegotiation steps in their software contracts.
  • This could be a great time to renegotiate contracts.
