Although audits are not carried out on all Service
Providers the frequency is increasing and failure can put the
business at risk.
This is an area where you can have direct control of both risk
reduction and enhancing profitability.
Subscription licensing sits at the heart of the commercial
services that are offered and as with all software, compliance with
the terms of use is mandatory.
However despite this and the important role of the software
assets, usage reporting is based on a trust model. This
relies on the service provider to maintain compliance and to
optimise their reporting by using the best licensing terms.
The vendors approach to ensure compliance is typically limited
to broad educational activities and the blunt tool of audit.
This approach is focused on compliance only and does not consider
the business context, is retrospective by definition and because of
this misses the opportunity to be proactive and address compliance
before there is an issue.
