Introduction to ComplianceConsole

ComplianceConsole provides a complete solution for software asset management (SAM) and software compliance. Many organisations have invested in the technology to discover the software in their environment, but lack the ability to reconcile usage with their contracts and licences. This leaves them exposed to vendor audits, as well as missing the opportunity to reduce cost through the better management and recycling of surplus software licences.

ComplianceConsole provides:
