Software Metering for Decision Makers

Software Metering for Decision Makers is a simple, effective, passive software metering tool that allows organisations to easily identify unnecessary, unused or underutilised software and take appropriate action. It provides the necessary information needed to communicate with the business, to provide justification to remove or redeploy key business assets which are not delivering value.
In simple terms it identifies 'waste' and provides organisations with accurate data in an easily understandable format that can be acted upon.
