How to save money and stay safe with software license optimization
Neglecting license management means taking a risk. About 26% of software used by businesses is unlicensed. For companies, this means taking a huge risk, since copyright infringements are subject to penalty – and not just for businesses. Not only can the person in charge of IT and licenses be held liable for violations but also the company's managing director. Depending on the severity of the crime, this can result in major fines or even jail time.
COSMO CONSULT has decades of experience with license management, license strategy and license consulting for Microsoft products.
The right license strategy for your digital transformation
Do you know the total cost of ownership of your IT infrastructure – i.e. the costs incurred for IT staff, hardware, software, energy, repairs, maintenance, administration and asset management? Compare this to the expense of operating solutions in the cloud.
Cost and flexibility are among the key aspects of the digital transformation. That's why COSMO CONSULT relies on Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program. The Microsoft Cloud is not just a safe haven for your data. It also ensures that you're always working with the latest technologies, safeguarding your investments. We know Microsoft's current cloud migration paths, so we can help you unlock major savings on licenses when you transition to the cloud. Together, we'll find the perfect license strategy to secure your path to digitalization.
Stay on the ball with updates and licenses
Modern technologies are improving faster and faster. Microsoft Cloud Services ensures, for example, that you always have the latest updates. However, this often involves constantly changing user agreements. With our Software Compliance Services, we keep track of your licenses for you, so you can rest easy. In order to guarantee optimal license management, we have to stay sharp.
Our staff undergo regular specialized training on license consulting and software compliance services to stay up to speed.
