Licensing today can be a mine field, and if you get it wrong, it could cost you a bomb. At NDS, we pride ourselves on simplifying this process for our customers. We are able to do this by keeping up to date with the latest information and conditions relating to the licensing portfolio of the various vendors and relevant regulatory bodies.

I.T. managers today face an increasingly complex task in keeping systems and networks up to date and trouble free. In relation to licensing, we often come across companies failing to do this, and hence needing support in terms of:

Keeping the company legal in relation to software compliance regulations
Being absolutely certain about software contractual terms and obligations
Saving time and money through seamless software deployments
Monitoring maintenance expiries and renewals to ensure currency and validity, which can be so easily overlooked, and
Undertaking software licence audits and consolidations to ensure they are not under or over subscribed.
A concern we hear often from our customers is that they have lost control of their licensing, not knowing what they hold, when it expires, nor where to begin.

NDS can provide full licensing audits to establish what you currently have and what you require to get you compliant. Once this foundation is set, we then recommend the most cost efficient route to compliance.

NDS's customer licensing database provides accurate and timely notification of a customer's license renewal needs. Hence, prior to the expiry of your license, we contact you to confirm if any changes need to be made - perhaps an addition to or reduction in the number of licenses you require. We will also advise of any new products or programs which may be suitable for you and explain the benefits of each. Once your needs are established, we then provide you with a renewal notice outlining the renewal path options and pricing.

To ensure your organisation receives the best return on its investment, NDS can manage every aspect of your software assets. Call us before you run into any problems in the future. NDS takes all the worry out of software licensing!
